kstart and geometry
Trying to start Konqueror(or other app) with a certain size, but I just can't get kstart/kwin to work correctly.
Trying with
[code:1]
kstart -geometry 800x400+600+100 --window "blat1.png - KSnapshot" ksnapshot
[/code:1]
but that doesn't work, have tried with kedit, konqueror as well but it just won't work.
I use xwininfo to get the names of the windows.[/code]
--geometry does not work because kstart does not have a window
you need --geometry as part of the target programs options

Thanks a lot, that did the trick
edit: another question, can I control other windows that doesn't have --geometry as option? Through kwin/kstart/dcop or similar.
Hmm, I don't know. Maybe KWin offers resize via DCOP.
But most X11 applications have such an option, it might be called differently though.
