I have a line in my ~/.fvwm2/init.hook file, + "I" exec xconsole -geometry 480x130+297+434 -bg gainsboro -exitOnFail -dae -notify -file /dev/console
These are the permissions, ~$ l /dev/xconsole prw-rw-rw- 1 root adm 1951 Dec 7 00:10 /dev/xconsole| At any rate with this setup, xconsole appears on my screen for a second and then winks out. I've looked through the various xdm files and found a place (/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources) it looked like geometry could be controlled but when I changed the geometry nothing happened at all even when I commented out the line, "XConsole.text.geometry: 480x130". The geometry I assigned xconsole and want, is "480x130+297+434." With this geometry it would stay on my screen. Otherwise the way it is it goes out of view when I deiconify it. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, kent
