And I'm telling lies.. The _main_ window doesn't specify its position. That would be a real contravention of X11 convention. We _do_ (admittedly I was reluctant to add the code), save and restore dialog position. (See gschem/src/gschem_dialog.c) The positions are saved in ~/.gEDA/gschem-dialog-geometry It is "probably" within the WM's rights to completely ignore our requests though. Some dialogs in gschem might not go via this subclass though - so positioning rules revert to whatever the default GTK / WM behaviour is. I believe PCB has a similar mechanism for restoring dialog geometry. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
