RE: x-windows opening up too large

["Dawson, David W" <david dot w dot dawson at lmco dot com>]

FWIW, the mwm window manager documentation lists an "Appearance and
Behavior Resource" named "maximumMaximumSize" which
   "Specifies the maximum size of a client window (as set by the user
    or client).  Takes a value of widthxheight (e.g.,1024x1024) where
    width and eight are in pixels.  The default is twice the screen
    width and height."

Now, the mwm available to run under Cygwin/XFree86 is the Lesstif version,
which is supposed to be "functionally equivalent", but *does* differ in
many areas from the official Motif version.  The distributed app-defaults
file lists this resource in a section commented as:
   !!
   !! not tracked yet.  Some are implemented, but you can't change the
default
   !! behavior.
   !!

On the other hand, this app-defaults shows a version control tag of:
   !! $Id: Mwm.ad,v 1.2 2001/10/27 18:32:58 amai Exp $

BTW, this resource can be set in your .Xdefaults file (as well as a number
of other places) as:
  Mwm*maximumMaximumSize: 1024x1024


I have not tried this feature of mwm.

Good luck.

Are there any options I can put in the .Xresources file which will constrain

the windows within the screen?

JS.
