Many programmers like to have their windows always appear in the same position in each session. The following two commands can help:
Most modern window managers such as KDE or Gnome do an excellent job managing window position. If you are using an older window manager such as
twm or
mwm, you may want to select the
Force window positions (disables window manager placement modes) check box option located on the
Options Page of the
File > Preferences Dialog Box. This tells TotalView to manage a window’s position and size. If it isn’t selected, TotalView only manages a window’s size.
Window > Memorize: Tells TotalView to remember the position of the current window. The next time you bring up this window, it’ll be in this position.
