I had been trying to work out how to get new windows (in particular,
multiple restored firefox windows) always placed at top left.
man ctwm states
If the second argument isn't given, the displacement
+30+30 (30 pixels right and down) is used.
So I tried
RandomPlacement +0+0
RandomPlacement +1+1
and neither worked. Eventually I realised it had to be
RandomPlacement "+0+0"
I suggest the Man page entry for RandomPlacement should be changed to
indicate the requirement for quotes:
If the second argument isn't given, the displacement
"+30+30" (30 pixels right and down) is used.
Strictly this isn't necessary, since strings must have quotes. But it's
possible that a subset of users will share my incompetence and just copy
the format of the sample given, unthinkingly assuming that number
specificationsa are different from text strings.
Perhaps I am the only person who has ever misread this!
thanks.
Aaron
