Extract to a tmp dir, or view the contents first. These files have been zipped from the root of my $HOME, thus these files: .config/ZBASE etc/xterm.conf bin/xt See attached, Zenaan xt.tbz Description: application/bzip-compressed-tar

Already accomplished. All I needed was each running xterm's stats. xwininfo nicely supplied that. For future reference: Any other utilities you can suggest that do the same thing?

Yes and no. I needed the info from already running terminals to duplicate them (size, location, etc.) on booting. I've finally settled on a GUI configuration -- I use only a window manager and it doesn't "remember" it when I reboot. So, I have to use a startup script to load and "place" everything.

Determine XTerm Geometry
Need to get geometry of running xterms. Resize gives me the columns and lines. How do I get the X & Y offsets? Thanks.
