Cool, thanks. Just applied it.

There's still a lot of stuff that doesn't work in trunk. The KDE4 port is 
going slowly, so don't expect everything to work. :)

Running tellico full-screen

I'd like to run a single application (tellico) full-screen in a
dedicated VNC session *without* a window manager. I'm not sure how to
force the application to be full-screen, though.

If my xstartup contains "exec tellico," it launches properly but only
takes up a fraction of the screen. Is there a way to adjust the default
geometry without resorting to a window manager?

tellico --geometry 500x500

though there's a minimum width set. And once you run it, Tellico should 
remember the window size and restart the same way.

Once it is started you can change the size, iconify or set the cursor
to a specific position using the program xwit.

I needed it once to properly resize a 32767 pixel wide window :-)

Robby, I don't know how high up on the list of priorities this is for you, 
but if I run editres and click on a running tellico, I get no response. 
The idea is that editres should send a message to the X client and get a 
message back which is the tree of resources for that client. (Try it with 
an xterm.)

The --geometry  option  is common to all X clients, but I was wondering if 
you were interested in processing that message from editres.

Thanks, this is exactly what was needed. I'd tried "-geometry," as
that's what a number of other X clients use, but the double-dash saved
the day.

It occurs to me that this ought to be a documented feature in the
tellico man page. :) Naturally, I looked there first, but didn't find
what I needed.

Thanks again for the quick response!

It comes with all the KDE apps, it's just hidden behind --help-all

I think Regis added the man page for Debian, but it's not something I wrote.

I'm not sure what to tell you. The --geometry support is not something I 
coded. It comes free with the KMainWindow class, I think. In any event, 
whatever X events get handled, I depend heavily on the KDE libraries to do 
the right thing.

It's not a "tellico" option, it's a KDE option - and any KDE program can be
called with --help-kde to see those options.

I'm not sure _any_ KDE app man pages include the KDE options.

Exactly. Though I've been lazy and only generated one with help2man,
mainly to make lintian stop shouting at me. So the page doesn't really
contain many usefull informations, that's why I didn't bother pushing it
into the svn repository.
