http://picasaweb.google.fr/doublehp/Computing#5491849571694058130 I have roughly underligned in red the monitor edges. 0 1 and 3 are 1280x1024; 2, i don't mind; 4 and 5 are 1024/768 . 3 0 1 and 4 have their bottom aligned. 5 is just above 4. Thus, the black space above 3-0-1 is 768*2-1024 = 512 (from memory). To check exactly where is the bottom of 4, you must look at the separation between 3 and 2 (visible by the BG image); it should be 512+1024=768*2 pixels from top of picture. Oh, this morning, Memo was placed on screen right away ? maybe because I was playing with remember features yesterday for 1h ... anyway, it's too small: less than 1000 pix, while it should be more than 3000. You can also see that it is misplaced: it is centered (I want it left), and neither top or bottom edges are right (either the top should be way upper, or the bottom should be at 1/3 from the bottom of monitor, and actually is 1/10 th of it). Eterm have been launched, as I said, with -g 200x100 (from an other Eterme hidden below) . Monitor 4 is 1024*768. The top left cornor is placed properly, the top left pixel of window is on top left pixel of monitor. But, as you see ... you don't see the bottom right corner. The scrot shows nothing about the bottom edge, so, I won't tell about it. The scrot shows the up left decoration, what tells you roughly where the right edge is; you can extrapolate the exact position or the right decoration, by doing measurements on Memo (couting pixels from, how large the balls are, and how far from side). And, you should find that the window is 1032 pixels width ... >> Is that in public tree ? I will rebuild E overnight. Gimme 18h. > > Yes.

I have just placed it at position 0x-2000, it has size 256x3427 I have auto-remember settings; I restart X and tell you where it's gone. The full Rox suite is available from zero-install; but most distro provide it as package. Search it in your package manager. Or try http://roscidus.com/desktop/ZeroInstall . To repro my bug, you will need to fill enough fake entries, to make it bigger than your monitor. You don't need to install rox, because Eterm -g 200x100 produces a very similar issue; so, unless Eterm -g 200x100 really produces a 200x100 term, way larger than your monitor (you may need bigger values if your default font is a small one: 1000x1000 should do ^^ ), you really don't need to install Memo. Memo has a placement issue; we can start with the size one. My Memo also have special remember settings: - windows name - windows class - windows type - transience - match only one window (to not have problems with the editor) - position (i place it so that I can see the bottom of list) - border style - virtual desktop (I have 8 per monitor) - current screen Because it's a complec Python procedure, Memo can not be started by E directly; I had to create a .desktop file, and put this .desktop in the list of apps I want E to start. You can *not* use the window contextual menu and tick the "start this program at login", it won't work. That's why i am NOT asking you to install it, as long as Eterm can produce similar behaviour. > So you mean you like to open a window with an initial position bigger > as your screen? This is exactly what I liked to prevent, because I'm > gone crazy with this. Could you tell my why it's useful to open windows > bigger as your screen? Maybe I've simply not seen the use case... My monitors are 5/4 (0 and 1 are 1280x1024); Yesterday, I have been watching a movie provided in 19:9; I just stretched mplayer to fit monitors 0 and 1 ... I had 150 black pixels on the right side; nothing more; and the picture was, roughly, 2500x1000 ... what *IS* way bigger than any monitor I have. This is very specific to Xinerama + Zaphoheads; If I was using xrandr, then, E would only see 3 chipsets of 2560x1024 pix each (and I would have only 3 desktops, and 2 monitors per desktop), then the game would be different, because the monitor size, from E point of view, would be 2560x1024. So, using the same hardware configuration, with monitors placed the same way ... xinerama+zaphohead produce a specific soft conf. You can compare my conf here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=36829 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=36836 There is only one application I need to start "off screen": Memo. My memo is 3400 pix height; my desktop can not print this. The latest tips are on bottom. Memo is a "fixed size application"; I can set a minimum of lines, but there is no maximum; it always shows *everything* in the pase, until today; and if that makes less lines than the defined max, it will show as many possible lines in the future (with line and time limits). It has virtually no max height. And, fact is that, with years ... and lame ... and not doing what I should ... it's now 3400 pix height :) Because of undone tasks from past years. -- >o_/ DEMAINE Benoit-Pierre (aka DoubleHP) http://benoit.demaine.info/ If computing were an exact science, IT engineers would'nt have work \_o< "So all that's left, Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf."
