Yes, i've tried this as well (using the scripts you posted here on Mon, 23 May 2005). Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the main problem. Your example: > =======8<-------- > firefox -geometry 820x1000+530+70 & > if id=`xwin_find 240 ".* Mozilla Firefox"`; then > xwit -iconify -id $id > fi & > =======8<-------- Firefox does not honour the -geometry at all. As a result, I get the manual placement lines on the screen and I must place (and resize) it first before anything else can happen. What I would like to have (ideally) is a wrapper program that can be run with: xgeo <program> <desired geometry> <other arguments> that starts <program>, waits for its request to map the main window, and then applies the desired <geomery> for it. I think ctwm could handle this easily, if there was a way to inform ctwm about the requested geometry information. -- Johan
