specify window size & location when opening ap from command line, possible?

Hi again
If you just want to resize an active window after it has been loaded
you can use something like this.

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,100,300,890,560

100,300= window position x,y
890,560= window size x,y
change to whatever.

Rather than set to a keyboard shortcut I like to use easystroke mouse
gestures to set a gesture to run the command.
The wmctrl command works on the focused window so by performing the gesture in the window you want to resize it gives it focus then runs the command.

I'd use wmctrl, making sure to add a sleep between it (to give the window time to actually open) i.e.

program && sleep 5 && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,x_pos,y_pos,x_size,y_size

Thanks, Stinkeye; HiImTye,

Yep, wmctrl seems to be just the ticket. I'm going to find lot of uses for this. I'm marking this solved.
