Postby oscartork » 19 May 2009 22:58

VLC player appears on top left corner of my desktop. But i want it to appear where I want on my screen. So How can I move the VLC player window or can i give coordinates and size to appear and how? I m using VLC player without borders but it appears always on top left corner.

buggy Windows Manager... You can try to specify video-x and video-y in preferences.

The thing is that if you disable decorations, your window manager will ignore the window, and then it will go to the default location which is top left. That's not a WM bug. You need to specify the coordinates yourself.
