[comp.windows.x] Help placing windows in tvtwm

mike@abekrd.UUCP (Mike Quinn) (09/18/90)

I want to place a window in the second virtual horizontal screen. To do
this I have an executable menu option to do the following:

	hpterm -title HLC =80x30+1024+180

When I start the window from the home virtual screen HLC appears in the
right place. If I am in the second horizontal screen already, it gets
added to the TWM Window Manager list, but doesn't appear on the screen.

If I deiconify it from the TWM Window Manager, the screen jumps to the
second horizontal screen, scrubs the background with trash pixels and
the window still doesn't appear.

I read about forcing USPosition in the README.tvtwm, but I can't find
out how to do this.

Is the bug in tvtwm or in my brain ??  This is driving me crazy.


I'll summarise any replies and/or bug fixes.

  Mike.
