If there's anything I hate, its inconsistencies. - I normally run "xclock -geometry =WIDxHGT+X+Y", and it works fine. - I tried "xclock -xrm 'xclock.TopLevelShell.geometry: =WIDxHGT+X+Y'" and that worked fine. - I tried adding the above resource record to my .Xdefaults (I'm not using xrdb), and xclock blatently ignored it. - other Widget tools (like xmh or xbiff) happily use the *geometry spec. Is there a reasonable explanation for this behavior? dave Dave Cohrs +1 608 262-6617 UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department dave@cs.wisc.edu ...!{harvard,ihnp4,rutgers,ucbvax}!uwvax!dave
