Firefox, alas, doesn't have a -geometry option. But it does (albeit loosely) try to remember its position when it next loads up. There are a few ways around it to try and coerce it into a fixed position, which I'll discuss below. > This is an extract from my .fvwm2rc.

Use the Resource of firefox (Gecko) as a more precise match. > Style OldPoseidonVNC StartsOnPage 1 1 0, SkipMapping > firefox Page 1 0 Style 0, SkipMapping, NoPPosition Style Gecko StartsOnPage 1 0, SkipMapping works for me. I mentioned earlier about geometries. Using a module called FvwmEvent, you can get Fvwm to do things when a condition happens. So for example, you might want to move the firefox window somewhere. Here's what you could do: DestroyModuleConfig Event-FF: * *Event-FF: Cmd Function *Event-FF: PassId *Event-FF: new_window MoveFireFox Whenever a new window is created, fvwm will then call the "MoveFireFox" function which we can declare as this: DestroyFunc MoveFireFox AddToFunc MoveFireFox + I Any (CurrentDesk !Iconic !AcceptsFocus) \ ThisWindow ("Gecko") Move 120p +0p AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmEvent Event-FF For instance. This would then take FireFox and move it to the location specified in pixels. Slightly OTT, but it's possible. :) -- Thomas Adam -- "One of us is a cigar stand, and one of us is a lovely blue incandescent guillotine" -- Stephen Malkmus, "Type Slowly" from "Brighten The Corners" -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
