Installation and use of the ROX Desktop ()

window-size (Edit and two displays)

Hi!

I like ROX very much. There is Gobolinux in the works btw. :)

Currently I use two displays with Nvidia binary drivers (162.09) on Debian Lenny. (The same applies to Etch.)

When starting Edit its window is too wide.
Can I specifiy the window-size and position of programs which are not installed (tarballs like Blender or Firefox)?

Regards,
Sladi

It's probably actaully sqlite2 itself that is missing:

(this isn't currently available through Zero Install)

It's not available through Synaptic either.

Oh well, looks like a dead project.

Sure. It shouldn't make any difference how you run them. How you do it
depends on your window manager, though.

Did a patch ever get made for this?

I'm using Xinerama now, but I also use Ion, so default window sizes
don't affect me

I think you'd have to give them their own (non-executable) MIME type,
then set the action on that.

I'm a bit disappointed nobody has any suggestions as to how to get
round this problem.

It is actually worse than I first though. I can only get it to
recognise USB sticks if I plug them in first, and then drag DevTray
onto the Task Bar :(

To fix this problem I need the complete stack trace. You can get it by 
clicking "Details" in the error dialog.

Sorry, I don't have much time at the moment. I hope I find some time 
this weekend to look into some of the DevTray issues reported lately.

TaskTray won't run anymore (Debian Lenny)

I can't run TaskTray anymore. The Download button is shaded. I'm pretty sure it has stopped working since
the last updates I did via aptitude. I use the ROX-Desktop packages from the ftp.berlios.de repos.

The aptitude log is:
