Disable dxterm defaults in your .Xdefaults file and,
Use .X11Startup from your $home directory.
Here is an example .X11Startup entry.
(cd bin; testxsh &)
[d]xterm [-xrm ...] -bg Blue -fg white -sb -n "XUI & OSF -- Perfect \
Together" -g +10+110 &
[d]xterm [-xrm ...] -bg Blue -fg white -sb -n "XUI & OSF -- Perfect\
-g +110+360 &

| I'm sorry, Kris, but I don't understand....
How can I disable the dxterm in .Xdefaults. At the moment I have
the following:
sm.TerminalEmulatorName: dxterm
If I take this out I have the problem I documented in #279.
How does the -g +10+110 work?
Thanks,
Rashid.

Rashid,
sm.create_terminal: 0
will give zero terminals at startup. This will enable you to set
up your defaults in .X11Startup.
Re...Window Geometry (-g argument).
'man X ' gives me the following...
WINDOW GEOMETRY
Most X client applications let you specify the size and
position of the application window with the geometry option.
The geometry option has the following format:
[width][xlength][x][y]
width Specifies the number of pixels the win-
dow spans horizontally.
length Specifies the number of pixels the win-
dow spans vertically.
x Specifies the x screen coordinate (pixel
value) for the starting corner of the
window.
y Specifies the y screen coordinate (pixel
value) for the starting corner of the
window.
Depending on the corner of the screen from which each coor-
dinate value is an offset, the x and y coordinates must be
preceded by a plus (+) or a minus (-). The following lists
the four screen corners and the required positive or nega-
tive state for the x and y coordinates when you create a
X(1X)
window with respect to that corner.
Upper left corner +x +y
Lower left corner +x -y
Upper right corner -x +y
Lower right corner -x -y
If the geometry option is not specified, you can position
the window with the mouse pointer and size it with one of
the mouse buttons. For sizing information specific to an
application, see the reference page for that application.
Most X client applications read options (such as font and
border width) to control the sizing of their initial window.
For information about options specific to an application,
see the reference page for that application.

| 294.4 | old uwm reference | FLUME::metsky | Could be worse, could be raining | Tue Feb 28 1989 14:53 | 7 |
| I believe the "If the geometry option is not specified ... " message is
refering to how uwm allows you to place windows on the screen. It looks
like out of date documentation to me, unless anyone else can figure out
what it means.

| RE: .4's quote:
This is exactly my point of contention.... dxsession automatically
puts the window up in a particular place. This is the same for
dxterm or xterm (although the initial position is different, it
is still unchangeable without the geom.. option).
What I would like to achieve is uwm behaviour in the placement of
new windows using dxsession. i.e. a rubber band controlled by the
mouse to allow me to place the window INTERACTIVELY before creation.
Rashid.
