I have the Sunbird calender in my Startup file (/root/Startup/sunbird). It appears on my desktop whenever I boot, in the left top quarter. I want it in the right bottom corner. How do I anchor it there so that it appears there on boot-up, without me having to move it there manually each time?

Hi Jake- looong time!

Position the calender to your liking then open a terminal leaving the calender uncovered and type: xwininfo

Move the cursor on top and left-clk, you'll get a geometry reading down below.

Take the info and place it in your /root/.Xdefaults file.. like: sunbird=geometry 710x550-23-44

Refire X. This works aboard Lucid..

Thanks, Semme. Didn't work the first time, but I'll play with it some more when I get a chance.

I'm not sure whether there's a bearing but- you're running *which* window manager?

If Openbox, it's possible screen position happens elsewhere.

With time (later)- I'll need to boot in and take a look..

Let's see what's inside your Xdefaults then. Attach a copy or post the contents..

Jake, I've been away'n busy. Wary runs JWM by default. This being said, I haven't yet found a solution..

I am still messing around with this. Semme's suggested line:
