I've looked at gtk's "window > gravity" stuff etc, and there is nothing different about this window > compared to others. it;'s likely java requesting specific geometry on start. some apps (and toolkits do this. they THINK they know better and want to request a specific location (eg remember last one). one reason for this is windows has no smart placement itself so apps invariably are left to do their own placement to not be insanely dumbly placed. but this falls over with multiple screens because 100,100 might be on another monitor depending on your screen layout. you can work around this by having e's remembers force the app to a specific location you want (on the current screen - so remember position, not screen or desktop). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
