kstart problem

Hello all.

I have a problem with kstart, I like to have gkrellm loaded at startup of KDE on the upper right corner of my desktop, so I have in my Autostart directory something like that
kstart --alldesktop --window gkrellm /usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm -geometry -0+0
That does it, but I'd also like to have it always on top. You'll say no problem, I just need to add the --ontop switch to kstart, but the problem is, if I do that gkrellm will appear on the first empty desktop space, regardless of the -geometry option pased to gkrellm itself.

I also tried the --geometry option of kstart instead of the one of gkrellm, but this seem to do nothing (even when I don't give the --ontop switch).

The most annoying is that it worked with KDE2, am I doping something wrong or should I fill a bug report?

hi,
yes, it seems to be a bug. i've got the same result in kde 3.0.4 as you.
however, here's my hint, how to do what u want anyway:

1) do e.g. this:
kstart --window gkrellm --alldesktops gkrellm -g -0+0 --wm

2) click with right mouse btn on the win decoration and in the menu switch on "Always on top" and then click "Save settings", quit gkrellm

3) run again as u want, it'll remember 'allways on-top' state now:
kstart --window gkrellm --alldesktops gkrellm -g -0+0

enjoy!
