Subject: setting position of windows

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: cvs_2006_07_22

hi!

with the new gis.m loading all those windows (I do like it!), I was wandering
if it is possible to set somewhere where they must be opened. For example, console
in lower left corner, map display on the upper right corner, and so on.
Or may be it is already possible and I don't know where to look...

Thanks!

While this is possible to do with TclTk, and in the past we did place
some of the windows, it was reverted to unplaced so that GRASS wasn't
over-ruling local window manager settings. Personally I don't like
having 4-6 windows open for a grass session, I think it is messy.

What I've done: (sawfish WM + gnome)  

sawfish-ui  # config program
 matched windows tab

^v\.digit -       position=(300 . 875)  # middle bottom
^xterm$           position=(35 . 605)   # bottom left
GIS Manager -     position=(750 . 10)   # top right
^Map Display 1$   place-mode=top-left
^Output - GIS\.m$ place-mode=south-east-going-north


I suspect that these would override hardcoded placement in gis.m, but
I'm not sure. But that may depend on WM.

Giorgio,

Are you happy with Hamish'es answer? Can I close your wish?

I'll try it out, seems quite easy to set, although I fear this will be a
little bit too far for my students... ;-)

Thanks!

Giorgio
