|
| The display manpage further says:
| "id can be a window id or name. Specify root to select X's root window
| as the target window."
|
| I couldn't get the name option to work either. (that was an
| alternative solution) What exactly is the name of a Window? I get this
| from my xwininfo:
|
| ****************
| xwininfo: Window id: 0xa000de "ImageMagick: 2.jpeg"
|
| [snip]
| ***************
|
| Can't figure out which one is the name. Tried "ImageMagick: 2.jpeg"
| and its parts as feed to -window but didn't work.

display -window 0xa000de rose:
The window will get tiled with the image.
If you really want to do widnow drawing like this you may also like to
look at the program "xwit" which lets you resize, move, iconize etc etc
existing windows.
I use this in my X window startup to resize and position my firefox
windows, and other programs, especially as Gnome Programs is brain dead
when it comes to basic command line options to its X window commands.
