Solution to Navigator window always popping up overtop of the document :-)

Linux users: Bother you how if you have a multi-monitor setup, and you move the Navigator window to another monitor so that it doesn’t cover your doc, but it won’t stay there and insists on covering the doc? Help is at hand: use devilspie2:

if string.match(get_window_name(), “Navigator”) then
set_window_geometry(3840, 0, 951, 1035); – RL
end

… every time the window is raised, the above will make sure it stays on the left side of my rightmost monitor where I want it. Your favored position might be different of course.

Yup, it’s a workaround. Sightly better tho because devilspie let’s you take complete control of window positions over and above what good software should do anyway – like leave your Navigator window where you put it. BTW, I notice that if I have two docs open, they will share the same Navigator window. Mind, that saves real estate so maybe not such a bad thing.
