This is a bug that's been driving me nuts for ages. If Totem is set to its minimum (default) size, when the Open File dialog is opened it's automatically reduced to as small as possible, which means I have to grab hold of the bottom-right corner and drag the window bigger so I can see the files. However, if the Totem window is enlarged slightly, when the dialog is opened again it's often at its regular full size.
This bug has been driving me nuts as well and we're not alone: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/285285 Hopefully, there's a bugfix coming around soon...
Thus the question is, is it possible to specify what size an application window should be? Personally I'd love to set the size of the dialog window, but I've no idea if /that/ is possible.
Don't think so, that you can choose a fixed size/minimum size for a window (unless the application allows that)... Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
