You may tell the windowmanager how to behave when he opens up a new window. These are called style options. There are different methods on how to arrange windows:
Style [Window name] [WindowPlacement]
Here Window name
is a synonym for the program that should run in
this window; e.g. an xterm
Dabei steht Fenstername
für das in dem zu erzeugenden Fenster zu
startende Programm, zum Beispiel xterm. WindowPlacement
defines
the style,.
The window name commonly is the name of the program. If this setting should
apply to every window use an asteris instead of the window name. Even patterns
are allowed as the following examples show:
"*lock" sets the setting for clock, and xlock
.
For making sure that styles are not overwritten (the sequence of the entries is important) the more specific entries should go to the bottom.
The default S.u.S.E. configuration is set to:
Style "*" SmartPlacement, ActivePlacemen
The windowmanager tries to find an empty space and will place the window in this area. If there is no free space available you will be asked to select a place.
Here an example. If you would like all xterms to use
RandomPlacement
you may try the following piece of code:
Style "xterm" RandomPlacement
PlacementStyle may be any of:
RandomPlacement, SmartPlacement, StubbornPlacement, ActivePlacement
