Re: How to set the X & Y position of a newly created window using FvwmCommand in 2.6.5

Hi Dan,

Thanks for sharing the information. Currently we are using FvwmCommand to
whatever is needed for Window Management that was the reason I was looking
for any argument which could be supplied to set the X & Y location of the
window which is going the get launched. I do see that we had used the
PositionPlacement argument earlier but somehow it is not working at this
moment(May be because I am not specifying the window name). It would be
great if you could share some of the sample commands which can be used for
the MOVE option you just suggested or for PositionPlacement if you feel
that works.

Thanks,
Bhupendra.
