| I am using the tvtwm window manager (pl11) with a virtual desktop and I can't
get dxterm to respect the -geometry switch or the x and y resources:
> dxterm -geometry +0+0
> dxterm -geometry +3000+1000
> dxterm -geometry 112x54+3000+1000
> dxterm -xrm "DXterm.x: 3000" -xrm "DXterm.y:1000"
None of these put the window where I want it. The third one seems to do the
size correctly, but not the placement. I have a 1280x1024 monitor, but the
virtual desktop is 3840x3072 (3x3 screens). I want to be able to pop up
windows all over the virtual desktop without having to have the current
display looking at that portion of the desktop (so, for instance, I can set
my .X11Startup to pop up several dxterms in different quadrants).
I don't have a problem using -geometry with "xterm" but I definitely prefer
dxterm's features so I want to try to figure this problem out.
My .twmrc has:
UsePPosition "non-zero"
...so the window manager should respect client-specified placements (and, in
fact, it does for all other clients).
This happens with the dxterm that came with OSF 4.0 and with the dxterm that
somebody sent me to fix a bug with the window title. I don't think it ever
worked properly in OSF 3.2 or 2.0, either.
Thanks,
