Thanks Thomas,
I'll try your ideas out tomorrow when I goto work but I just wanted to say
that the geometry flag is fine for the main application window running,
it's the windows that pop up from that which I don't seem to have any
control over.
Look at the documentation for that client program. Almost all X clients
have something called "Resources", which allow you to control the behavior
of the program. You put them in a file called .Xdefaults in your home
directory.
But running the window manager on the remote machine sounds like a good
idea - I'll give that a go, but surely that will be slower won't it?
That's what I thought. But after some experimentation, I found that running
mwm remotely was much faster than fvwm2, WindowMaker, or leffTif/mwm locally
(I don't care for twm, so I didn't evaluate that option). I'm sure your
experience may be different since it depends upon how fast the machine is at
either end of the "pipe", and how fast the LAN is in between.
