On my linux machine running GNOME with xmonad 0.9 tsclient (Terminal Services Client) runs as an undocked window. This is particular annoying and made worse by the fact that I have to run a docked window behind, otherwise I cannot release the focus. Does anyone have a suitable solution to this problem? -- Tony Morris http://tmorris.net/

What is its xprop output? Does it have a fixed size? If nothing else, you could probably write a ManageHook to tile the window as soon as it's launched... -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

Yes.

How?
