Hi Guenter... I had the same problem. The only way I found around it was to include the command line command in a start button on the Enlightenment start bar. LyX does not seem to want to respond to the .Xdefaults file at all. Also, since I'm using a hi-res screen, I couldn't use the straignt numbers of pixels I wanted the LyX window to open to. I had to multiply the -geometry figures by a third to a half again to get LyX to the size I wanted it to open as. The command line in the Enlightenment start-bar button is in the same form as the one you used to start LyX the way you want it from a terminal: lyx -geometry NNNxNNN I couldn't find anything else that worked. Developers? Any answers? Best, Ralph
