Hmm, shouldn't these apps be considered broken then? the -geometry switch is an xlib thing and handled transparently if the app passes the commandline to xlib.. i suppose some toolkits might do their own commandline processing and then forget to pass stuff on to xlib..

maybe i talk nonsense though.
