Defining X and Y Coordinates Inside A Window

lesnaubr · #1 (**permalink**) 08-15-2007

Hello,

I am starting up an Xnest window and trying to place a program inside of it. I have the window inside of it now but it always spawns with the top left corner at (0, 0). I need to find a way to set the x and y coordinates to something other than (0, 0). I tried using the -geometry option but that did nothing.

Thank you in advance for any ideas.

I was also thinking of doing something like making a root Xnest window(1) and then put the program in a different Xnest window(2) and then placing window 2 inside of window 1 and then moving that around. I don't know if that can be done or if there is an easier way though.
