Hi all
I want run Xterm and set it windows to a specific position ( inside Gnome display ) :

may be I want run Xterm and set it at the low-right corner of screen... I know "geometry" parameter for windows size but for position is there something ?

Thanks

the -geometry also take positions. See below or you can google search based on this.

Windows can be placed in the four corners of the screen using the following specifications:

       +0+0    upper left hand corner.

       -0+0    upper right hand corner.

       -0-0    lower right hand corner.

       +0-0    lower left hand corner.

So something like this:

sherlock GNU/Linux$ xterm -fn 6x10 -geometry 96x24-0+0

Thank you !!

And how do I set the windows on top of the others ? I found only gnome windows method... right clik on windows and set stay on top manully !

I think "on top" setting can be set based on the windows manager you are using. I have never set it, but I am pretty sure it is doable from within the windows manager.

But alternatively you can try using this app and see it this helps

GNOME - always on top

I solved this mode:
I use Compiz and then:
ccms --> Windows Rules --> Above +
select windows title, point to windows you want set always on top and click it... so the windows title is captured in the Above .

It's all !
