[openbox] Openbox + flightgear

[Yan Seiner]

I am trying to build an "appliance" that runs flightgear 
(flightgear.org) among other things. Flightgear is a flying simulator.

I seem to be getting hit with a triple whammy:

I am trying to play fg on a large screen TV, which has significant 
overscan.  Something like 60 pixels disappear from the top left corner.

I can specify the correct size using the --geometry option in flightgear 
but that does not allow me to set the position, just the size, so I lose 
the top left corner of the image.   Flightgear does not recognize the 
HxW+X+Y format for geometry; it ignores the X+Y offset.

I can configure openbox to override an application's "wishes" and set 
its size and location, but I need the WM_CLASS property set.  Alas, fg 
doesn't set the WM_CLASS property, just the WM_NAME property.  I don't 
think openbox allows me to id windows by WM_NAME.

I've tried the --prop option on the off-chance that it might help but it 
doesn't seem to have anything to do with the window properties.

Is anyone else in this boat?  How do I position the fg window in a 
specific location on the screen and not just in the top left corner?
