hi all,
i use icewm. it works very well, but there are some little things that
don't quite work as i'd like, and i can't figure out where to tweak them.
1. i like terminal windows to open in the following order:
top-left quadrant, top-right quadrant, bottom-right quadrant,
bottom-left quadrant (i.e., clockwise).
icewm opens them thus: top-left, bottom-right, top-right,
bottom left.
short of modifying the source, or writing a wrapper that figures
out what terminals are visible (i only want this behavior for terminals,
the default behavior for other apps is fine) and then starts a terminal
with the correct geometry command line parameters, is there a simple
way to configure this? i've looked in ~/.icewm/preferences and
the global preferences file. i don't see anything yet.
2. i use the double height taskbar. i don't need the commandline thing
there. but i don't see where i might tweak config to remove it. i'd
like for the workspace buttons to be there instead, and i could use
the extra space for buttons to apps i use a lot. this second isn't
a big deal, adding buttons just makes the command line thing shorter,
but having the workspace buttons there would save a lot of space on
the real taskbar (where the window buttons show).
3. i like nautilus as a desktop for icewm, what i'd like though is to
start it up automatically (.xinitrc or .Xclients) with a bunch of
window configuration commands so i don't have to mouse over
there and set it up everytime i log in. e.g., i want it to start up
1. without the file manager (don't need it for startup),
2. Occupy All desktops,
3. set layer to Below.
does anyone know what those command line parameters might be?
or have a link to somewhere i can read up on it? the nautilus manual
doesn't seem to have this info. reasonable, since most people use
nautilus from inside gnome.
nautilus is pretty fat. so on a memory-challenged laptop or old desktop
i might not use it (haven't tested yet though, maybe it's good enough
now on a P-133 with 48MB or even 32MB). but on a regular computer
with reasonable memory, it works pretty well.
thanks for any pointers.
