Most applications allow you to specify the size which they take upon the startup. Like, if you call xterm -geometry 80x40 it will produce xterm window of size 80x40. Same with emacs, etc. I don't know the way it's done in FWM95, but in AfterStep I can edit a wharf file (wharf is the controller for AS on my computer) so that when I click on an icon it will give me an emacs window of specific size. I'm sure there is a way to do that in FWM as well. The other way would be to change the /etc/X11/Xresources file and put in a string at the end like: Netscape*Size: 120x50 I am not sure about the exact syntax, I'm deriving this from the way I initialize fonts for Netscape through Xresources, but try it out.
