How to position terminal window

    Just one of those silly things - I like my Roxterm window to pop up centre screen when I hit Alt c.

    Try the command roxterm --geometry 80x25+500+300 and see where it appears.
    The 80x25 sets the size and the +500+300 sets the x and y coordinates.

    These values are guidelines only and based on a 1680x1050 laptop screen:-
    screen #0:
      dimensions:    1680x1050 pixels (444x277 millimeters)
      resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
      depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
      root window id:    0x275
      depth of root window:    24 planes
      number of colormaps:    minimum 1, maximum 1
      default colormap:    0x20
      default number of colormap cells:    256
      preallocated pixels:    black 0, white 16777215
      options:    backing-store WHEN MAPPED, save-unders NO
      largest cursor:    64x64

    - other monitors are available and will result in these values producing different results - you may need to use trial and error, like what I did, to get the best results.

    When you're happy just update the values in Obkey, save and away you go.

    That will only work depending on monitor size and or resolution set.
