And maybe not. ;-) It seems like 'qjackctl' studiously ignores the
-geomtry switch. 'QAMix' does it correctly (yay!). 'Timemachine'
actually barfs with 'unknown options -g -e -o -m -e' etc... I'm
starting Hydrogen on a separate 'desktop' to give it more space, so
that one's not an issue.
Is there any way to work around this stuff? Are the window coordinates
hardcoded in 'qjackctl'?
In the meantime, I start my setup, and tweak for a few minutes...
Hopefully inspiration doesn't take a left turn while I'm doing it...
