Adjusting window/frame size
I start jpilot with a shell script (Slackware-14.2/xfce4) and it's invoked
with a call to that script rather than a call to a v.t. So there's no
explicit geometry for the size of the display. And I don't find anything
relevant in settings or in ~/.jpilot.
I set the size manually but it's not used the next time jpilot loads. Is
there a place where I can specify the width and height of the window/frame
for jpilot?

Hi Rich,
jpilot -h lists an option -geometry
If I try things like jpilot -geometry 1253x852+100+100 it works for me.

Judd,
That is what I do when the command line directly loads the application. I'm
not sure where to put the -geometry option because jpilot is invoked with a
shell script:
#!/bin/bash
export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
ensures the datebook is the displayed application when started.
sed -i 's/last_app [0-9]*/last_app 100/' ~/.jpilot/jpilot.rc
/usr/local/bin/jpilot
This probably dates from the early Pleistocene and I don't know if I still
need it. If not, I'll remove the script and load jpilot directly from the
command line with the geometry option.
There's another minor annoyance with this jpilot installation that did not
occur before: when I move the cursor over the options in a drop-down list
the current one is blank rather than having a different background color.
Don't know if this is correctable with a recompilation.
Thanks,
Rich

Although jpilot should save its size when you quit it and use that size
when it restarts.

The sed script above makes jpilot open in calendar app. It should
always open in the app it was in when it quit (assuming it wasn't killed).

Yea, maybe a different color file, or modify the one being used.

Judd,
That's what I thought.
I need to kill the jpilot process after syncing/backing up because it doesn't
automatically clean up and print 'Finished' in the message window.

Okay. Same color file I've used before but I'll look at it and change the
highlighting.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Rich
