Hi Peter,

You can look into ~/.fluxbox/apps (`man fluxbox-apps`) to set default
dimensions for a certain window.  Matching is done with xprop properties,
ie name= and class=... run `xprop` from a terminal and point it at the
window in question to confirm the prop values.  You'll want something like:

[app] (name=scide)
  [Dimensions] {400 400}
  [Position] (CENTER) {0% 0%}
[end]

It's possible scide is doing something odd to try to change its own window
dimensions after it opens the window, in which case the apps solution may
or may not work.  Best of luck :)

Matt

This does not happen with, say, openbox. There the window has the<br>

I can resize the weird window in fluxbox with the same wmctl command<br>
=C2=A0$ wmctrl -r localhost -e 0,0,0,400,400<br>
which makes it display normally. However, if I close and open it again<br>
it is back at 65535x65535.<br>
