[Solved] How do I remember windows size and position

Post by ToddAndMargo »

Hi All,

I am running OOo_2.4.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.

Every time I start OO (any of them), I get a little, dinky
4" by 4" window in the upper left of my screen, which
I have to resize.

Is there any way to change this default behavior?

Many thanks,
-T

Surely a windows manager issue. Do you use Compiz? If so, try to disable desktop effects through System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects tab -> None.

This works for me: Resize window and shut down the office. I have no quick-starter, may be you need to shut down this trouble-maker as well. Next time I get a window with the same size as before.

I am using XFce 4.4.2. No other program (firefox, thunderbird, mouse pad, google earth,
Symphony, gimp, picasa, Virtual Box, etc.) is exhibiting this problem.

Don't know what Compiz is. Sorry.

Could find anything on the the survival guide
about posting my configuration. Maybe I just
missed it.

Question: is there a tmp or other file that
saves my positions that I may edit or erase and
start over?

Try to rename your OOo user profile (~/.opneoffice.org2).

Yipee! Erasing my ~/.openoffice.org2 directory did the trick.

It also fixed my upper border comment!

Thank you!
