they won't work on any platform. they only apply once the window has already been realised. if i try these, then i still have to aim the "mouse" and click. then the window appears and then the winsize/winpos commands resize/move the window. so they are of no use at all to me. thanks anyway, raf p.s. i can't see any reason to forget gtk options since they exist. but it would be nice if they worked. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
