Hi,

I'm trying to get some sensible winprops running (and reading the
documentation this time).

I have a couple of badly behaving applications and a personal gripe.

Firstly the badly behaving apps:
VNC - redraws it's window by killing the old one and starting again,
stealing focus and jumping between frames.
I'm matching on it's name and giving it switchto=true and jumptop=false

PerForce refuses to be resized down, but I can drag it into a smaller
frame - so ION won't shrink a frame containing PerForce, but it will
happily put it into a small frame.  From earlier discussions here we
think it's giving min_size hints which ION is obeying...
I'm matching on name again (it's easy atm) and want to ignore it's
min_size hints.
>From the winprop docs:
"max_size       table   The table should contain the entries w and h that
override application-supplied maximum size hint."
*#*Q?
Is there a similar method for ignore min_size hints?


Then the gripe:
Dialogue boxes.
They pop up, steal focus and sit unobtrusively at the bottom of the
window...
*#*Q?What I'd really like to be able to do is have them default to the
top (for all applications), preferably with a red border, or some other
visual clue, but have a binding to shift them to the bottom if they are
obscuring my view of the underlying application.  Is this possible?

TIA,

John
