There may be an elegant way, but I generally delete and recreate the .desktop file. >2. The text window that displays my application is a fixed size that is >almost too small to read.

To change the font size on the fly, right-click on the window and select Preferences. I usually use this feature to select a font, then I hard-code the font selection and window size into the .desktop file using the --font and --geometry command line options. >3.

Why is that, and how can I add them? They have to login GNOME once to create the ~/.gnome-desktop dir. You can login as root, switch to that user and create it yourself. # su - someuser $ mkdir .gnome-desktop $ cp /home/baseuser/parts.desktop ~/.gnome-desktop/ $ exit >4. Where can I find documentation or man pages on the valid settings for the >.desktop file, and the valid colors? The source code ;-) This info may be documented somewhere, but I've never have much reason to do looking for it. Tony -- Anthony E.
