There are some window managers that allow you to set the windows as "stacked". That is stuck to the bottom or top of the window stack. ie. Always on top or always on bottom. A patched version of blackbox does this, and you launch programmes in a stacked state with bblaunch. Thus you could start a stacked mozilla programme during startup and use the geometry flag to specify its exact co-ordinated from off the top-left somewhere to off the bottom right. eg. put in the .xsession file bblaunch -k 2 mozilla -geometry -10-50+1040x900 & or whatever... This would replace a desktop mind you. You desktop and its icons are in the root window which is behind your new "pseudo-root" window. I don't know whether I'd do it like that (I think it would be better to bottom stack a shell window than a browser, or a transparent, borderless shell window showing a nice backdrop and the shell is tailing the system logs ...), but it certainly is possible. Check to see if windowmaker supports this feature. Kind Regards Crispin Wellington
