I have no idea where that information is stored, but I am pretty sure it's stored by the desktop, not the application. Instead of using the Window Settings to force these parameters, try using Special Application Settings.

No, that doesn't seem to help.

I suppose the KDE folks dropped support for that, even though KDE3 is still supported on OpenSuSE. I'll see if the TDE packaging folks can resurrect it.

It isn't the application that saves that information, it's the desktop. That's what is responsible for all the positioning, size, etc of windows, isn't it? IIRC correctly, I had a problem or two in the past using special window settings to do such things. Now that I am using the application settings instead, no problems. This is Leap 15.2, standard out-of-the-box, and it's working here. I have no idea, obviously, what the differences are between KDE and TDE.

It turns out that it will remember, but only if one logs into root directly and sets the window sizes there; each individual module's size must be set. This is different than it used to be; once upon a time YaST remembered these settings when it was invoked from non-root accounts.

one would/should not expect one user account to be able to set parameters for another user or root account, no matter which desktop was utilized. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode

You mean full login into 'root' desktop? So doing "su -" to root would not work regarding this. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

but once in time, there was some Yast modules available for users (non root users).

yes, but "for the logged in user" and he could not change other users' parameters. of course root could. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode
