[Gnuplot-info] priority of X resources and comman line switch on geomerty ?

[K.Moriyama <km...@mb...>]

Hello, Sirs.

I use gnuplot 4.0.0 on Linux with X.

I can control the plotting window geometry through command 
line switch, like
$ gnuplot -geometry 800x300
when I don't have geometry specification in my .Xresources file.
But onece I put "gnuplot.geometry: 512x384" in .Xresources,
gnuplot always follows it and does not hear command line
option.

It seems somehow not usual for an X appliacation, i.e. usually
command line overrides the X resource, right? 
I tried the reverse video, too, and the behavior was the same.

Isn't this inconvenient? 
I want to put my general preference in .Xresources, but sometimes 
I want a different setting with command line switch.

Sincerely,
