Where is the man page for geometry as applied to X11?
-geometry 80x66+100+200
Are the units pixels? 80x66 is tiny. Or are they character counts in some font? What font? If so, 100 and 200 seem like unreasonably large offsets.
Where is the zero point? 0,0 in the Mac gWorld? Or perhaps the most negative values in the bounding rectangle of gWorld? Is positive Y downward as in Inside Macintosh? Is the upper left corner of the Mac menubar still at 0,0 ?
Deep down my problem is that windows are opening out of reach above my left monitor and to the left of my upper monitor which sits above the main one. There's no display space there! I need a way to tell the ssh'd Linux box to bring up gnumeric on a particular monitor and not to spread it over all four so that I can't reach either the grow box or the drag bar.
