Yeah, you can forbid the program and/or the user to move the window with Style myxv FixedUSPosition, FixedPPosition (US for user movement, P for program movement). You may want to add Style myxv FixedUSSize, FixedPSize If that does not fix it, xv is creating a new window with a different name. You need to figure out the name and add the apropriate styles. With bugopts explainwindowplacement on fvwm prints a detailed explanation of where it places a new window and why. Also try FvwmIdent on the window in question to figure out its class and resource name (both can be used in styles). Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
