I tried it, and that doesn't work because '-geometry' isn't a valid option for Totem, as Totem doesn't to be an X program. Presumably nearly anything that has 'x' as its first letter is an X program. Sandy Wayne Rooney wrote:
So if you wanted to launch Totem with an initial window size of 300 pixels wide, 200 pixels high, located 30 pixels down and 30 pixels right of the top left of your screen, you could try:
Right-clicking on the Totem entry in your application launcher (aka "start menu") then edit the entry, changing the command line options from "totem" to "totem -geometry 300x200+30+30"
Or,
Apparently you can edit your ~/.Xdefaults file and add a line that reads: totem -geometry 300x200+30+30
Or,
Make a shell script that reads:
#!/bin/bash totem -geometry 300x200+30+30 &
and then create a link to it from your desktop and use the link when you want to launch totem. (Don't forget to make the script executable)
HTH,
