Re: [newbie] Saving Window Positions
I'm sorry, but, now I am really confused. What does partition management have to do with saving window positions for my favorite applications? I did read about diskdrake and it sounds like a great project, I may even replace my copy of Partition Magic with it, but neither program will make my favorite applications always open in the same place on my screen each time I execute them. Or at least I don't think so and I don't understand how it would be possible that they would. I'm willing to be educated but this sounds entirely too weird on first hearing.

All I want them to do is remember where I put them and always open to that location no matter when I launch them. Is that possible? If so, can you point me toward a faq where I can learn how to do it?

This is the only windowmanager i know that does this, it's generaly left upto the application to save it's own size and shape, and the window manager for positioning. Thanks, that was exactly what I needed to know. I hadn't noticed the alt-right_button menu before. -- Traci Collins, MA Professor of Computer Education Colorado Mountain College http://www.rof.net/wp/tcollins/traci.html

Re: [newbie] Saving Window Positions
Uhh, maybe read that one more time ;) , what does diskdrake have todo with the windowmanager? If you use gnome with enlightenment for the windowmanager, you'll find a save settings option (towards the bottom) when you alt-right_button on an application. This is the only windowmanager i know that does this, it's generaly left upto the application to save it's own size and shape, and the window manager for positioning.
