#249 xfe --geometry flag

[Bruno Dantas]

Hello again, Roland. I recently started using wayland. Xfe runs well in Xwayland but is launched in a window that is too narrow. Same is true for a few other applications, which I could solve by launching the applications like this: foo --geometry=XxYxWxH. In Xfe man page I don't see any way to request a window size. Is this currently possible? If not, kindly add to user wish list.

I discovered that Xfe's window size can be specified in ~/.config/xfe/xferc, like so:

[OPTIONS]
height=516
width=874
ypos=-593
xpos=-445
auto_save_layout=0
...

This makes this feature request (to specify geometry with a command-line argument) very low priority.

In Edit / Preferences / General, the Autosave layout option allows to retain the window size. So no need to edit the xferc config file.
