Hi Paul! No joy.
I removed the "xrandr" line from 00_vmware-user - wmaker automatically resizes without it (but the dock and clip are left needing a session restart).
I first tried changing the local file ($HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState) but noticed it kept reverting to "Applications768"
I then changed the global default (/etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState) and nothing different happened.
And changing both didn't produce any different result. Don On 4/1/2013 12:06 PM, Paul Seelig wrote:

I built an AutoStart command that partially takes care of these issues: ~/GNUstep/AutoStart/Enabled/00_vmware-user #!/bin/sh #set -x /usr/bin/vmware-user xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080 but this still leaves me needing to restart the desktop session. Is there a command I could issue after xrandr that would restart my desktop session?Cool, now we are talking about some real diagnostic investigation. Try to replace th following line in $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState (maybe also in the systemwide /etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState) in the third line at the top of the file: Applications1200 = ( (or whatever value is shown there) with Applications1920 = ( before starting up wmaker. Does this make a difference? I have set this resolution width values by default to 1200 pixels, which obviuously is not enough for your screen resolution. It usually automatically scales down to the correct value of the actual display size, but the other way round it doesn't up if the display is actually larger than the preset. As this is hardcoded within the ISO, the adapted value will not be saved between sessions, unless wmlive is running from an installation to disk. I will set this value higher in future wmlive releases, e.g. the value 1920 your display is using. This should resolve the issue for a while, unless someone comes along with an even superior resolution. ;) Does this resolve the issue for you, at least to some degree? Thanks for your patience, Paul
