[SOLVED] Windows Size and Positioning
Hi, I'm having this problems with windows like those of Evince or Firefox or some others. The thing is they start not maximized but their size is so big that I have to move them with my keyboard a little bit so as to be able to resize them with my mouse. This is very annoying... is there a setting for Gnome to remember last time position and size used or at least start all windows with the same size and position???
Thank you
dysaint

Re: [SOLVED] Windows Size and Positioning
Welcome,
you could use devilspie to achieve something like that.
Did you set the dpi?

P.S.: You could use Openbox within your Gnome as Window Manager. It remembers Window sizes, uses sane defaults and can spawn Windows unter the mouse (among various other things).
