For posterity, look up the utilty wmctrl Here's the mini-script I use to launch fgfs, with the correct window settings and forced to be on top: #!/bin/bash (sleep 2; wmctrl -F -r "FlightGear" -e 0,33,-4,1210,650 ; wmctrl -F -r "FlightGear" -b add,above ) & fgfs $@ Basically, it sleeps for 2 seconds, then sets the location and the above property. It does this in the background while fgfs launches. -- o__ ,>/'_ o__ (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ A day may come (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ when the courage of men fails, (_)\(_) ,>/'_ when we forsake our friends and break all (_)\(_) bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
