Hi there

How can I start an application maximised? I'd like to use firefox maxed, but probably also other apps. I have been looking around many corners but was not able to find a hint for tha.

greets chris

Most apps accept the -geometry switch, see man X ( < http://linux.die.net/man/7/x > )
Firefox has it's own -width and -height switches, but it should obey -geometry too.

This only specifies the size; the window is still not "maximized" per se, but if you have it the same size as a maximized one, the only difference is the maximize icon on the window bar.
