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.
