I am running Linux Mint 13, with a KDE 4 desktop manager. I would like to launch applications from a terminal (konsole
in my specific case) and setting the exact size of the window and the location of the window. As an example, if I launch Kate
and Chromium
from a terminal, I want Kate's window the cover the left-half of my screen and I want Chromium to cover the upper-right quarter of my screen.
How can I accomplish this?
ps: I have a 15.6" screen set to a 1920×1080 resolution.

If you don't want to specify the geometry/position during startup, but permanently, simple use
Kwin
's rule system:Detect Windows Properties
button to capture the data of the target windowPosition
andSize
Position
and/orSize
You can do way more than just this using the window rules, see also: .
