fixedsize doesn't seem to be the right thing here... It really fixes the size, which is not what a tiling window manager does... the WM just maximizes the available space, but if you have other windows open, it shares them between them, e.g. if you you have only one window open it will maximize to the whole screen, but if you have two open, it will shrink the window to half the size (you can switch between horizontal and vertical splitting)... you can add as many windows as you want and then either each window gets 1/N of the width or height or you can do more complicated windows, where one window has say half the screen, and the other create a say a 2x2 matrix of windows, etc... I think what would fix it would to have call a second exposure call once XBoard started up. Arun
