Re: tlug: Intial Window size in Wmaker

[Neil Booth <NeilB@example.com>]

Hi Jonathan,

In a console window, "netscape -help" displays the geometry option,

       -geometry =WxH+X+Y        to position and size the window.

which I believe is independent of window mangler (and works for a wide
range of apps, which I'm sure you know).

Neil.
