I have just dicovered that the problem lies in the ssh session. Here is the relevant part of my script: rsh dyn@localhost '(export DISPLAY=":0.0" ; \ dbus-launch /usr/bin/konqueror --caption Physics )' As the owner of the x-session (rather than dyn) enters the command /usr/bin/konqueror --caption Physics position in the virtual desktop is correctly set. Any suggestions to overcome the above problem? Thank you ---P ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
