Hi Drew,

I have a large(ish) list of timezones and everytime gworldclock starts
up I have to resize the window.  It'd be useful if:
	- gworldclock respected geometry passed on the command line like
	  most X applications have done for the past decade
	- sized it's inital window so that all zones could be displayed
	  without a scrollbar

Thanks,
Anand

Hi Anand, thanks for the report :)

Hmm, I thought gtk took care of that.  Maybe I missed some init
function.  Should be configurable in ~/.Xdefaults too, I might have
thought.

Yes, there are some issues with the autosizing. It particularly goes
ugly after going into Rendezvous and back. I'll keep searching for
solutions, let me know if you think of one before I do.

Do you mean you'd like the option of no autosizing at all so the window
just takes as must space as its zonelist needs?  That's easy enough to
do.

See you,

Drew

p.s. we had snow the other day, haha!

No problems ...
arguments before handing them off to gtk+; I haven't checked the source
though.

It's easy to see though:
	gnome-terminal --geometry= works
	gworldclock --geometry= doesn't

Hmm, hadn't thought of that.  It's a bit old-school though. :-)

Yes, exactly.

Cheers,
Anand

p.s. It's a balmy 26 degrees up here.
