What window? In the abstract, yes; right-click on the title bar -> Advanced -> special windows settings That being said, applications should remember their windows size/position from when they were shut down. -- Vegetables are not food; vegetables are what food eats.

All windows, Thunderbird, Firefox you name it. I tested with what you wrote, and it works. But as I would reply here, I also had to enter what you wrote above this. Once I think I got another advice for the issue in foucs, but that I cannot remember. My experience is, that the windows size/position are not remembered, and this count for as many opensuse versions as I can think of. /Erik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Then you must have ... Oh, well I'm running KDE4 and it remembers pretty near everything, the applications that were running, which virtual desktop they were in, their size and position...

Yes, but in genral, that is if I open applications, and they only fills 1/4 of the display. How do I change this to fill the whole screen ? /Erik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

With KDE/Kwin, and I presume there is a similar mechanism for other DMs, 1. Open application. maybe move it to virtual desktop of its own - that's what I do 2. Right click on the title bar click on 'Advanced' then on either of the 'special' settings. You will probably want 'application' rather than individual window. 3. The "Window matching" tab lets you set the application On "size and posiution" tab you want it set to remember position and size, full screen ... work you way though the settings. I can't help you with Gnome or other DMs. This should give you hints to experiment and investigate for yourself if you are using some other DM. If you want to get help and you're not using KDE you will have to tell us what DM you *are* using, since there is no "in general" way that ignores the DM you are using. I'm not being snide or snarky; we need those details if we are to help you.

You wish ... And then people would have to consult the wiki instead of the list archives ... As in "you bet they will, Will!" No, really: the archives and the wiki are all indexed under Google. When researching my first recourse is the man pages then google. Google may lead me to /usr/share/doc or to the LDP or How-To or an article in Linux Journal or even mailing list archives. But Google is a key player. yes I bookmark, but somehow I seem to google before searching my own bookmarks :-( We've seen that the newbies fall into two categories: those that make the effort and those that don't. Those that don't fall into two categories: those that take the hint and those that don't. Those that don't seem to fall into two categories: those that shut up and/or go away right away and those that hang around bitching about how life is unfair and how people on the list are snarky and unfair and won't help them and tell them to "go google". If you "go google" you can find people on all the lists telling people in that final binary category to "go google". Computer Science relies heavily on recursion and loops and binary divisions. So what do these people expect when they start dealing with computers.
