Hello!

Could someone please tell me if there are any user accessible settings to control placement of appication program windows, when using Arch 64-bit with Gnome 3 desktop?

If so, where are they and how is the window placement adjusted?

Thank you.

I don't know, but what ever WM/DE you're using, you could start apps by a wrapper. Scripts using wmctrl and xdotool might help you to get what you want and you then could switch WMs and DEs whenever you want ;). OTOH reading and writing x and y positioning with those tools is fishy on my install.

Thanks for the reply. The direct problem I was having seems to be not caused after all by window positioning, but by Gnome 3 apparently detecting a non-existent secondary display. I am working on that now, and posted another email on that topic. Very strange though, that only the window(s) for gnome-disk-utility seem to be affected. Also, sorry for neglecting to say that I was using Gnome 3 Desktop Environment on Arch 64-bit. (Composing email on Gmail's asinine built-in editor gives me fits - the editor jumps around at unpredictable intervals, adding and deleting bits of text in random spots).
