Hi; I downloaded devilspie from extras in order to be able to control size and position of my MetaCity windows on Gnome 2.16. How do I set it up and use it? locate returns 'doc' locations and '/usr/bin/devilspie' When I run it from the commandline I get: ]$ devilspie No s-expressions loaded, quiting The README lists two locations for a configuration file, but none exists there. Do I start by creating my own *.ds configuration file? "Devil's Pie is configured by reading a number of files from two directories: $HOME/.devilspie/ and $SYSCONFDIR/devilspie (typically /etc/devilspie). Devil's Pie will read s-expressions from every .ds file in those paths. Note that currently only the first s-expressions is parsed, but this will be fixed shortly. S-expressions are familiar to most Emacs users and in the limited use they have in Devil's Pie are trivially learnt by example." OK. But where are the examples? devilspie -? gives little help. Where would I get a list of expressions like 'begin', 'set_workspace', 'geometry', or whatever to at least get started? Googling only gives me a repetition of what's in the README file. All and any help appreciated. P.S. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix gdmflexiserver -l see earlier post. -- Regards Bill
