Hi; Another possible bug, in the continuing series. Who or what is responsible for positioning newly opened windows in Fedora 6 and Gnome 2.16? Is it Fedora, Xorg, Gnome, MetaCity, or the application. It is very annoying after a while to have to move almost every new window from the top left corner to the centre of my screen. Is there any way to set up my system so that every window opens centred? It should be an option. Some may dislike the fact that the top window covers up other smaller windows. I am not one of those. I would like everything to start centred. When applications expand from an iconfication on the panel they can retain their positioning. Why can't they when they are newly opened? There used to be a geometry option for applications, but it hardly exists anymore. (Never really worked anyways). To me there should be an hierarchy of options. First a global positioning option, that can be overridden by an application option that can be overridden by a last used option. I forget in which Fedora core this changed, but removing options for the user and allowing only one way, the developers way, has an M$ feel to it. It strikes me that Gconfig-editors is the proper place to provide these choices. -- Regards Bill
