I use wmctrl for this: # apt-get install wmctrl $ cat ~/GNUstep/geometry/evince.conf WAIT=0.5 HPOS=10 VPOS=10 HSIZE=1280 VSIZE=720 And a small script: ################################################################### #!/bin/dash BIN=evince if test -f ~/GNUstep/geometry/${BIN}.conf ; then . ~/GNUstep/geometry/${BIN}.conf else echo "\n[ERROR] cannot find \"~/GNUstep/geometry/${BIN}.conf\"\n" exit 1 fi if test -z "$1" ; then ${BIN} 2>/dev/null & else ${BIN} "$1" 2>/dev/null & fi PID=$! sleep ${WAIT} WNAME=$(wmctrl -lp | awk '/'${PID}'/ {print $1}') wmctrl -ir ${WNAME} -e "0,${HPOS},${VPOS},${HSIZE},${VSIZE}" ################################################################### Maybe this will give you some inspiration :) HTH, R. -- richard lucassen http://contact.xaq.nl/ -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-user-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
