- The vuewm window manager uses resources of the class Vuewm. You need to set
-
- Vuewm*clientAutoPlace: False
-
- Vuewm uses xrdb and saves xrdb settings along with the rest of session
- information. You should set resources with "xrdb -merge" or the
- RES_EDIT action. The RES_EDIT action is under the applications button
- of the front panel. Within applications select the system_apps folder,
- then the X11_apps folder, then the RES_EDIT icon. The RES_EDIT action
- will query the current xrdb settings, edit a temporary file with those
- settings, then load the edited file with xrdb -load.
