It's up to a developer of an X application whether the geometry option will be available or not. Geometry could also be set through an X resource database (xrdb) but that too would have to be supported in the application so it's up to a developer as well. For that reason not all of the X applications support options for geometry specification. Take "evince" application for example. Generally X11 doesn't force the way applications should behave and which options they should support. This led to somewhat inconsistent behavior of the X11 window interface. This was probably the main reason for writing the excellent ICCCM document. -- Josip Deanovic -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
