The only way I have found to control the initial size of the main window is by editing localstore.rdf, but --- as you point out --- that file is rewritten by firefox on exit. IIRC it used to work correctly in mozilla, so you could try iceape instead. Or you could write a wrapper script which replaces localstore.rdf before starting iceweasel. It depends on how important the feature is to you, I suppose. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
