I tried that, and the same thing with the --no-init-file option. The two windows are identical, with 79x35 geometry. By the way, I get those numbers by a left mouse click on the border of the window. When I change the values in .emacs to 37 and 81, I still get the 79x35 geometry. Something is constraining the window size. It's the smaller font that allows the width to increase to 79. When I press the Maximize Window button in the title bar, the geometry does increase in both dimensions. Maybe this is how Mate is supposed to work. > If it works you can add your other settings peu à peu. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
