Will try that.

Well, now not even Gnome Terminal - starts up, but not at the same size
it was. I know about Firefox, etc - sort of had pious hopes that one
day it'd be sorted out :)
A possible solution would be to start up some apps at logon from Startup
Programs, and set their screen size/position. But I notice under Gnome
the window manager doesn't allow specifying a _Desktop_ to display
things on. Is there a window manager that allows you to do this? How
would I use a different window manager with Gnome?
I use metacity and have installed and configured devilspie which adds
exactly this capability (and one or two more) to metacity.
eg for firefox the config looks like this:
~/.devilspie/firefox.ds
(if
(matches (window_name) "Firefox")
(begin
(set_workspace 2)
(maximize)
)
)
I then only need add devilspie as a start up program using the sessions
dialog.
It may not be for you, I don't know, but I rather like it.
All the best,
Hal
