What were you trying to do?
Customize dash. (I forgot to mention this bug in my
last sendbug, sorry.)
What's wrong:
In trying to position the clock window, I first tried
*clockWindow.defGeometry: 90x90-3+3
to put my clock where I have my xclock. It didn't work.
It understood the 90x90, but I had to manually place the
clock. (Without this line I have to manually place a
clock of size 164x164.) I "solved" the problem by doing
*clockTree.clockWindow.geometry: 90x90-3+3
What should have happened:
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
It should have worked. I got defGeometry resource line
out of the (example?) file
/usr/athena/lib/X11/app-defaults/Dash
My guess is that both lines (from the What's wrong
section above) should do the same thing. Maybe I
understood the Dash file incorrectly. If so, then
the "164x164+0-0" after defGeometry should be
replaced with "164x164" so people don't think it's
supposed to position the window too.
