Hi;
The application can specify its desired geometry, both size
and placement, but the window manager can ignore it. Unfortunately, it
seems like qt apps seem to mostly ignore the -geometry command line
option. So, you can blame either the app, or the wm. But in the case
of a qt app, they dont seem to make any effort to deal with the situation.
My qt app obeys the geometry, qjackctl and qdvdauthor, as a trivial test
do not...
the app can't be responsible for remembering
the position of its
windows?
I would strongly disagree;). I think this is exactly the apps
responsibility. The WM should not maintain a database over every
window that an app may open. That's absurd;). Imagine apps like
Nautilus, Gimp and such. It's not very cumbersome to switch WM either
as all will be lost.
