- I want to use the IconRegion setup variable using tvtwm
- and it works ok except i want it to use that region
- in EACH virtual window (i'm using VirtualDesktop "2x2")
-
- not on the first quadrant only
-
- e.g. what happens is if i'm in virtual screen 2,3 or 4 and
- iconify a window the icon goes to v.s. 1 - so if i want to
- get it back i have to go to vs1 and deiconify
-
- here is my IconRegion "96x512+0+0" North East 10 10
-
- is there some magic geometry setting i could use that would
- say i want it (the +0+0) relative to the virtual screen i'm in?
-
- or some other method?
-
- the whole reason i have to use IconRegion is because the icon is
- left where the window is by default (unless the app tells it
- otherwise) but for xterm/hpterm windows that's always right
- where they are - IconManager i didn't like (although it is
- quite cool)
-
-
- p.s. the 10 10 on IconRegion (gridwidth, gridheight respectively
- i could not figure out what they did but setting them to 10
- and 10 worked)
-
- thanx,
- fish
