Re: [gentoo-user] trying KDE (konsole placement)

2006-02-20 Thread Iain Buchanan
I thought I had this one sorted, but apparently not!

Essentially, I want konsole to always appear in the bottom right of
the screen.  It appears the -geometry option isn't quite implemented
properly, so a user suggested to use the special window settings to
remember the position of konsole.

This worked well for a while, until I realised that these settings don't
stay with what I set them to!  eg.

1. open konsole and position it where I want it.
2. select special window settings from window  advanced menu.
3. set position to remember, and the coords should be already there.
4. open and close konsole as many times as you want and believe that it
works :)
5. open konsole, move it, then close it.
6. open konsole again.  Now it opens where I last moved it to, NOT where
I told it to.

If I look at special window settings now, I see that the coords have
changed!!  Why?  I didn't tell it to?!?!?

Is this the intended behaviour?

I'd appreciate any comments.  Thanks,

you chose wrong setting, change 'Remember' to 'Aplay Initialy'

hope this helps
