        Hi;

        The application can specify its desired geometry, both size
and placement, but the window manager can ignore it. Unfortunately, it
seems like qt apps seem to mostly ignore the -geometry command line
option. So, you can blame either the app, or the wm. But in the case
of a qt app, they dont seem to make any effort to deal with the situation.
My qt app obeys the geometry, qjackctl and qdvdauthor, as a trivial test
do not...
