[xwax-devel] Starting xwax at a specific window size

[Shaun <djp...@gm...>]

Does anyone know of a way to start xwax at a specific window size?

I am trying to turn an old netbook into a dedicated xwax appliance.  I
installed Arch linux, then installed Xorg, xwax, slim, and matchbox
window manager and set it to autologin.  I start xwax fullscreen by
putting this in my ~/.xinitrc:
/usr/bin/xwax -l /home/shaun/music -a hw:2 -a hw:1
exec matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no

This works fairly well.  The netbook boots quickly and it goes
straight into fullscreen xwax.  When I'm done, I hit the power button
and it shuts down.

The biggest problem is that xwax isn't starting at the right screen
size.  The netbook's screen resolution is 1024x600, but it appears
that xwax is starting at a resolution a bit more narrow and tall.
There's some black blank space on the right side that it's not
filling, and the track list goes down off the bottom of the screen.
The unfilled space isn't such an issue, but the extra vertical size
makes it impossible to see some tracks on the list.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can make it start at the right size?

I realize this isn't an issue with xwax itself, but I thought I'd
start here to see if anyone has ideas.

Thanks!
