Ok, that's an option, I'll cook something with pidof and awk/sed/grep. > You could also check the xprop(1) man page as this tool could prove > useful to you. > > Note that wmctrl and xprop are not Windowmaker specific tools and they > are not distributed with the Windowmaker source. That's why it would be very nice and very useful if WindowMaker would offer these options like application specific geometry and position (like "initial workspace" and "icon"). When starting from a saved state it is able to do so, so it should be possible to make this work on-the-fly IMHO. But as I'm not a programmer, I'm not able to see through all the ins and outs of such an option. Is there a special reason why these options are not available (or cannot be set) in the "attributes"? I have used WM for at least 15 years now and lacking such functionality is a bit strange for such a flexible window manager, isn't it? :) R. -- ___________________________________________________________________ It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak aloud and remove all doubt. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Richard Lucassen, Utrecht | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
