Hi all

As a complete and utter newbie to Solaris, I'm finding myself up against a
brick wall.

We have a bunch of Sunrays running Citrix ICA Client under CDE to get to a
Metaframe server. The trouble is that "full screen" display isn;t really
full screen - it's just a 1280x1024 window. This means that the Win2K
taskbar is sitting somewhere below the bottom of the screen thuis rendering
the start menu absolutely useless.

Is there any way under CDE I can force an app to start with a particular
window size and position ? Like 1280x1024, starting at -5x,-5y ?

Thanks

Pete Burgess

I consider it likely that you are looking at the wrong
end of your problem.

The maximum resolution of a SunRay 1 Appliance is 1280x1024.
Use utxconfig -l (or -o if you have the SunRay Server Software 1.2)
to check your Xserver resolution settings, and
utsettings or Shift-Props to check your display resolution settings.
Both should show the same resolution.

Also check what happens if you try to move
the mouse cursor across the bottom of your screen.

Try adding X resource (and re-start Workspace Manager or relogin):

Dtwm*Wfica.clientDecoration: -title -border -resize

Is Start visible after drag'n the window upward? (Typically: Hold Alt,
hold left-mouse down, drag upward; or shift-ESC for the window manager
menu, then m for move and mouse upward). Are you using the version 6
ICA client?

Likewise maximize usable height of netscape:

Dtwm*Netscape.clientDecoration: -title

(of course can also set ShowToolBars as Text Only, and turn off
Personal and Navigation Toolbars...)

I have been long trying to figure this out too. Is there any way to
accomplish this by changing the X resources like you mentioned below?
I tried "Dtwm*Wfica*Geometry" (following your message) and it
didn't work since it's just a guess. Also, how to get a list
of the X resources used by an application? (sorry if the question
looks silly.)

It looks nice after the handle of the frame window is removed
although i can no longer move the window. Thanks for
the advice!
