I believe this depends on the fact that xterm and Eterm honor their geometry arguments from a command line. In my experience, though, firefox (iceweasel) does not. Where the window comes up, and what size it is, has no relation to any "-g" or "-geometry" arguments I try. Neither its man page nor "firefox --help" indicates such an argument. It's odd that giving it such an argument has no effect but also gives no error message. Firefox does claim to accept "-height" and "-width" but again, I actually get 800x980 no matter what arguments I give. And even those wouldn't allow specification of window placement. With old Netscape, having this in ~/.Xresources Netscape.Navigator.geometry: 800x977+773+87 and calling xrdb worked. But it does not with firefox. I brought this up as a question in a thread "size and position of iceweasel window" last year. There seemed to be general agreement that firefox ignores geometry requests. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
