    This is all a bit of fun, but all the same. someone please give me the link to the vote counts - I would love to know what the runners up are to some of these. (Yes I am the sort of person that also looks at Ubuntu and Debian popularity-contest results.) There are some well-deserved victories and predictable horrors here: I think 'worse is better' applies to some of these winners.

  • For example, I have a file called $HOME/.devilspie/games.ds that opens all games on workspace #4: (begin (if (is (application_name) "gnobots2") (begin (set_workspace 4)) ) (if (is (application_name) "iagno") (begin (set_workspace 4)) ) (if (is (application_name) "same-gnome") (begin (set_workspace 4)) ) ) Similarly, I have an xawtv.ds configuration file that says: (if (is (application_name) "xawtv") (above) )

  • konsole takes a whooping 8MB and gnome-terminal over 3MB of memory, you can run xterm under 1MB
  • Create a '.Xresources' file in your home directory and enter the values that you want to set. My .Xresources file is as follows:
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • By pressing [Ctrl] key and the middle mouse button, you get a pop-up menu which helps you set/unset a lot of other features of your xterm window like enabling/disabling the scroll bars and so on.

      If you use the pop up menu to customize your settings, I don't think there is a way to save your preferences. I think you need to use a text editor to create the .Xresources file as Ravi describes above.

    My Ubuntu 9.04 installation does not seem to listen to the .Xresources file. I am trying to figure out why.

  • For Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope” and newer, use the packages in Ubuntu repositories.

      I think he means the package "emacs-snapshot". The default Emacs in Ubuntu 9.04 is still version 22, which, as far as I can tell, does not support Xfont (in the body of the editor). I certainly can't get it to work, and Emacs is too important to risk using the snapshot ;)
