starting apps with given geometry

[klee12]

Hello,

I would like to start, say, firefox with a given geometry, preferably something like -geometry 40x100+0+0, but -geometry +0+0 would be OK. It doesn’t work. Is there anyway around this. I would also like to do this with other apps like acrobat.

Thanks in advance

(As well as numerous other references by me on this subject on these forums – just search for firefox.)

Thanks Thomasadam, PositionPlacement is just what I need. I’m running an older version of fvwm2 (I think 2.4.18) and I’ll upgrade soon. This is not a big issue with me so I’ll wait until it’s in the upgrade.

By the way, how does one mark a thread solved?

FVWM 2.5.22 is about to be released as the latest unstable which will have PositionPlacement in it. You should really use this version when it’s released.
