I enter the following line command on a terminal: "kwrite /ddisk/i/Links.txt --geometry 690x576+100+100". It accepts the 690x576 part of the geometry but ignores the +100+100. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Invoke KWrite from a terminal, using your own file name, but with the geometry option as described above. If it puts the window in the upper-left corner of the available screen, it's ignoring part of the geometry. 2. 3. Actual Results: The window is always placed in the upper-left corner of the screen. Expected Results: The window is placed where I want it. I've been running this under the Gnome desktop.
