Is there any way to configure pysolfc initial window position?

I want to do so because it snaps to a desktop corner. This is new behaviour with a new installation of Debian 8 Jessie and Xfce. Previously it has opened in a convenient position.

Holding shift while closing the pysol window does not change the behaviour.

Netsearching has not identified a solution; no window position configuration item found, not in ~/pysolfc, not in .Xresources and .desktop files are agnostic about windows positions according to http://standards.freedesktop.org/des...ec-latest.html

No other applications behave this way on the desktop.

There was a similar question a few days ago about another program (unfortunately, I can't find the thread tonight).

I do not think that XFCE (or most DEs, for that matter) offers an easy way to do this. There may be some way to pass the geometry to pysolfc by jiggering the command called by the menu item to include the geometry, but that is frankly a shot in the dark.

Full disclosure: I normally use Fluxbox, which does indeed offer an option to "Remember Dimensions" and "Position."

Thank you frankbell

As you half expected, psysolfc does not accept -geometry:
I contacted the pysolfc author skomoroh via https://sourceforge.net/projects/pysolfc/ and will update this thread with any new information

On changing to a bigger screen, pysolfc snapping to a desktop corner stopped. The original screen was DELL E190S (19" 1280x1024). The new screen was DELL D3218HN (31.5" 1920x1080).

Given that pysolfc is popular and I cannot find anybody reporting similar symptoms, the symptoms were probably triggered by an unusual window manager setting or combination of settings.

I tried reverting to the original screen and experimenting with window manager settings but was not able to fix the snapping.

Sorry, I am not motivated to create a new user to see how pysolfc works with default settings with the original screen

I think it's more likely to be a window manager problem.
What DE/WM are you using? Have you checked its documentation on how to configure it application-specifically?
