Description Roman Fietze 2009-11-20 13:53:25 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

The geometry switch or property normally allows to specify the positions of windows relative to any of the four edges of the window. A positive value defines the distance from left or top, a negative value defines the distance from bottom or right.

The plasma window or application specific setting should do the same.

This will be necessary when I e.g. locate small utility windows at the right or bottom edge of my desktop. Those positions are always stored as positive distances from top left. When I now switch X terminals (servers, e.g.: X -query, NX, ...) that have larger or smaller screens, those windows hang around in the middle of nowhere or are crushed to either border of the desktop.
