Hmm, I've never seen that. What I have is simply: XDvi*geometry: -0-0 but my dialog boxes open in the middle of the xdvi window. The man page says: -geometry geometry (.geometry) Specifies the initial geometry of the main window, as described in the X(7x) man page. The geometry of child win- dows can be set separately, e.g.: xdvi*helpwindow.geometry: 600x800 which doesn't tell us what the name of other subwindows are. Sigh. I guess my only real suggestion is to email tex-k@tug.org to reach the xdvi maintainers ... Best, Karl ]
