A window manager that gives you enough control to achieve what you want. There is a number of window managers that are scriptable, FVWM can have quite complex configuration file, KWin has window-specific settings, etc. Alternatively you could use tools like wmiface or devilspie to hack what you want manually, but that may or may not work well enough. -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer [email protected] , [email protected] _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
