I just spent the morning with these two, and they taught me more about penguins than I really wanted to know ;) One experiment produced an interesting surprise that I can't even begin to explain: First, this part worked exactly as expected under 'normal' conditions: xdotool search Pan: windowsize 400 400 (it resized pan's window to 400 by 400 pixels) But, when I told pan to view one of those hinky jpegs (and pan resized its window to about 3000 pixels wide) the same xdotool command resized the *height* of pan's window to 400 but the width remained unchanged at about 3000 pixels. How can a window resist half of a command yet obey the other half? Did you get mail yesterday? BTW, wmctrl (unlike xdotool) does case-insensitive searches, so be careful if you give commands to 'pan' rather than 'Pan' because it may affect your 'panel' instead of 'pan'. I managed to resize my panel to invisibility and couldn't figure out where it went :) Okay, I'm tired now. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
