Other- wise, an outline of the window's default size, its titlebar, and lines dividing the window into a 3x3 grid that track the pointer are dis- played. Clicking pointer Button1 will position the window at the cur- rent position and give it the default size. etc.etc.etc. Probably, you could set up those X11 configuration files that tell each application how you want it to display. Alternatively, you could install a more modern window manager and solve all of your problems. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
