usually app-defaults file used for this
why there is no command line flag for it ??
if we have a -typeface flag, why there is no -geometry flag ?
and say if there is no such argument or it's an empty string, let's set it to this "=500x400+20+50"

I'm not opposed to removing it as long as you are willing to test on all platforms (basic X11, GNOME, Mac OSX and Windows). That's the scary part of making changes to GUI things like that. I did most of my development using Mac OS X with X11 so I could run the same code in basic X11 and Mac OS X at the same time. Then I'd do sessions in Ubuntu to test there. Then I did occasional tests on Windows.

hi all,
i'm wondering why the geometry (position/size) of the main pd-window is hard-coded in the new gui.
pdwindow.tcl:257 "wm geometry .pdwindow =500x400+20+50"
tcl figures out the needed size of the window quite fine for me, but what annoys me a bit is that the window position is hardcoded.
window managers are usually quite good at finding out, where there is still place for new windows. starting several instances of Pd will all force the main window to be on the same position.
the reason why it annoys me most, is that when i start it Pd, the window is always hidden behind my terminal (yakuake).
if there is no really good reason, i would opt for removing this line.
