If you are using Compiz to give shinyness and you have Compiz Config Settings Manager installed (yum install ccsm), you may be able to go to System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> CompizConfig Settings Manager. Once you are in, investigate the "Place Windows" plugin, which may do a limited amount of what you want. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
