I'm not an expert in the inner working of fvwm, but I have the impression
that firefox is not a well-behaving application (X11-wise). I have a bunch
of commands in my .fvwm2rc since ages ... I also want firefox to start in
a specific page, but I do not care about the position in the page, however
I'd wish the SIZE of the window to be what I selected and not the latest
size after a manual resize.
This stuff was suggested long ago by somebody on this list, and is
unchanged since then.
I have this lot near the top to assign the wished size (the trick is to
use an event handler).
DestroyModuleConfig Event-FF: *
*Event-FF: Cmd Function
*Event-FF: PassId
*Event-FF: add_window ResizeFireFox
DestroyFunc ResizeFireFox
AddToFunc ResizeFireFox
+ "I" ThisWindow ("Gecko" !Transient) Resize 707p 980p
while later on, where I define all the styles, I have this style
definition (apparently one has to use "Gecko", not "Firefox" or "firefox")
Style Gecko StartsOnPage 1 0 0, SkipMapping, NoPPosition
This seems to work for me.
(and I did not invent it myself)
