From: Dave Tweten Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 22:18:10 -0800 Message-ID: <56116.1037254690@gilmore.nas.nasa.gov> Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have just begun using AbiWord as a viewer for MIME application/msword e-mail attachments. It seems to work well. There is only one mystery, how to control its geometry, its size and location on the X11 root window. It doesn't seem to use X11 resources, and no part of its menu tree seems to address geometry preferences, but my copy of ~/.AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile currently reads in part which looks promising. In fact, editing the width parameter does seem to be effective. "Height," "posx," and "posy" seem to be completely ineffective and I have no clue what "flags" means. Experimental changes to it seem to be completely ineffective, except sometimes to cause AbiWord to change it back to 3. Naturally, following current standards, there seems to be no configuration documentation at all. Can anyone offer any insight? Any light in the darkness would be much appreciated. -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
