I think you're normally supposed to set the desired resolution from within the HVM OS's internal settings. In this case, try to set the desired resolution within CentOS. I think it's to be expected that attempting to force window properties in KDE's window settings wouldn't work, since CentOS doesn't "know" about dom0's window manager. A tip for moving unwieldy windows around: Since you're using KDE, you can simply hold alt, then drag anywhere on the window. This should work even if the title bar is completely offscreen. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXt1rIAAoJENtN07w5UDAwyEAP/izU8N2q5os1A4ewj13Czl4c JDa08VekcmQJRVVT2ZTmMeyqblZiuGI6xah9zBIc9gk1cryUNI588zBkGlmjlMvK IbEKnkZbHRTYZIdA1sjlvjhkuiJhRcl+W+rIfRtjMTz/JYeG7zIFG1XgP98g9B05 zhCzeQPzmRYUxGZoIK1s3S0Hz470YM/dGdSy/6snfSXoCHpMY5s2z1q7Eoy7aN+q MabH/9lVfT/xbJceuo9ydlsKHhOcD+dmL+woJ9WJFHVr4qmKVh5XvnG+bM9Bex5B bYDFq7f2+E1/U35wLwLoVw7eNVGkILEF1vQmr74oFkxilZyyzlM4inLdBmWCEwRu J4lRNMR1Ne7KPXQ4eINZxf88f5xl8D/kPgAnEJHmI3s/+V1GDo9ljp1DR+kVxFls Vx/6veKJRnxOnwqCfBrl2ayO75MCywIBujPLfghrqHX18/yRoHeHMgOEBB0/jsJi npU8uO64cfMz9ljlfApdN/sTFj6/EmLsFuuZoQfHk5v5EwkVEsFD1aLS2pgQ9Tiw fgcyi8cBs5ff2fTQyOsBU9eRRHYDTWtsnTufA0AyW6V0ab823e+a/3ZrThMPKJvJ 5Wdg/DBFAbk+ZrzdgzaoRng0Zywt7t0+SFhQGGufbZFWSts46miWPub0V7SE0xkT fswhU9KPeg8ihG45AtoF =4oQx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
