This is quite simple. You have to send in the geometry to the GTK application so that is self can decide its geometry. You don't need any window manager. I run a lot of FreeBSD computers this way. In rc.local you run something like ------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org DISPLAY=:0.0 export DISPLAY /usr/local/bin/X -ac & # Let the x-server have time to start sleep 20 # Connect from any IP /usr/local/bin/xhost + & # Remove the cursor from the screen, turn off screensaver /usr/local/bin/unclutter -root -idle 1 & /usr/local/bin/xset -dpms & /usr/local/bin/xset s off & # set background # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names /usr/local/bin/xsetroot -solid Grey & # show local time TZ=CEST export TZ # Startscript for infotable at LEV DISPLAY=192.168.37.88:0.0 ./draw-text -x 0 -y 0 -X 896 -Y 307 -g logo -L "" -f 100 & ... ---------------------------------------------------- Note that the gtk-widget have to "resize" itself. So you must program it to read its own "geometry". x , y , X Y (and some other stuff). /gh Den 2016-03-18 kl. 01:30, skrev Anatol Pomozov: > Hi > > I am trying to implement a simple Kiosk-like web application.
