Is there anyway to get fluxbox to remember the size (height,width) of an app
window and its location on the screen so that the next time the app is run it
appears the same? Also, what exactly does the "stick" button do? Thanks

There is a good page about this here: http://bugfactory.org/~gav/fluxbox/ There is a patch for the .1.x series, and the functionality is built-in since .9.2 in the development series. > Also, what exactly does the "stick" button do? Thanks I don't use it myself, but it probably makes the window "stick" when you move from one virtual desktop to another. If you don't switch desktops, it won't appear to be doing anything at all. :) In fact, for that reason it took me a long time for me to figure out what sticky windows were about myself. I'm a new fluxbox user myself, a recent convert from KDE 3.1. Here's a screenshot of a recent desktop setup I used: http://mark.stosberg.com/Tech/fluxbox_desktop.png (175k) It's a little artificial to show off several of my most frequently used applications. For the most part I'm happy with fluxbox. Mark -- http://mark.stosberg.com/ |

Personally, I find that sticky windows are only really useful when you have several windows that you want to shift en-masse to another workspace, preserving layout. When I want to move just a single window, I drag it off the side of the screen (one of my favourite flux features). Don't forget that if there's a button you don't use, you can remove it from the title bars of your windows by altering the .fluxbox/init file : session.titlebar.(left|right). John |

for this you have the titlebar right button menu, "send group to"
it will move all grouped the windows to another desktop
the sticky ise much used in xload, jabber, ICQ and other IM,
xclock, etc
in things that you want to have in all desktops for several
reasons

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
