How to start a window minimized?

Is there anyway that I could use to start a program with its window minimized, or even if possible, to start the GUI program runing at the background without showing up its tail?

Look at the frame.setState(int )
setState
public void setState(int�state) Sets the state of this frame. Parameters:state - Frame.ICONIFIED if this frame is in iconic state; Frame.NORMAL if this frame is in normal state.See Also:

Hi
Make sure that you set the DISPLAY env varible properly, i.e. it should point where the exceed is started.
Make sure by running xclock command.
And then follow as per Dinesh told in the previous reply.

Hi all,
I'd like to start all windows maximized on my netbook running compiz. There is a an option in "Window Management/Window Rules/Matches". Putting a value of "class=" in the box will set all windows maximized but cannot be un-maximized.
Is there an option somewhere to start all applications maximized but allow to un-maximized them later on?
Thanks!

How to start a window as root in X

Hi everybody,
I managed to install Arch on my old laptop.
Besides some other problems (i might come back here) I'd like to start soem applications/windows (terminal or any other app.) in my DE (icewm) as root when I'm logged in as normal user.
How can I do this?
McQuack

Well now,
This 'never-do-anything-as-root' ideology is a bit paranoid if you ask me. There are many cases where it's very convenient to be logged in as root.
Windows users aren't getting in trouble because they run programs with Administrator priveleges, they get in trouble because they download obscure binaries from doubtful websites, and then decide to run them with Administrator priveleges. Windows users also use programs that have secret document formats that may contain hidden executable code. Then they use e.g mail programs that may seemlessly run those executables for you, without your knowledge (MS is always service-minded), if they should happen to turn up as an attatchment to some spam.
If you're not administring a big server park for some huge company, root could be a good thing. There are few (not none) security concerns. The biggest concern is that as root, you can mess up your system really badly. Using kdesu, gnomesu, sudo or sudoedit, whatever, will not protect you from your own messing around.
By the way, I actually thougt your question was about starting an X program as root.
You have probably started the X server as your normal user, and in Arch, that means only your normal user will be allowed to open windows, not even root will be allowed. To give root and all other users logged on to your computer (usually only yourself) permission to open windows, type this into a terminal (as your normal user):
$xhost +localhost
And if you have a network at home, you can let all the users on any machine open windows on your machine, like this:
$xhost +
It will probably let anyone on the internet open windows as well, but the programs will be running on their computers.
If your machine has the ip address 192.168.1.2 and the other has 192.168.1.3, then the other can open windows on your machine like this:
DISPLAY=192.168.1.2:0 qiv nice_picture.jpg
I remember a long time ago, in 1993, when the internet was mostly on university unix machines, and no one had to be concerned with security unless they had secrets to hide, I sat and read my mail, and suddenly a picture of Cindy Crawford popped up on my screen. Well, nowdays such things happen all the time if you don't have popup protection.
But what had happened was that some friends of mine studying in another town, had read from the totally open user list on my school's server, and found out exactly which machine I was logged into, and then they started a program on their machine, but let the display be on my machine hundreds of miles away.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a bit off topic here, but at least I think I gave an answer to the question asked

When Firefox desktop icon click'd for a new window, all existing windows first refresh with the new FF window on top; how to keep other windows minimized?

Oldest FF windows are overlaid by newer FF with the new FF window on top.
This wastes time & monitor-space.
It is likely just a simple setting somewhere ...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== With version 3.6.6.

This can be caused by a problem with an extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I have all Firefox windows minimized, and am using another program or am idle, the Firefox windows keeping randomly popping up. How can I stop this behaviour?

I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2. When I have all Firefox windows minimized and am working in another program, the Firefox windows just randomly open in front of my other app and interrupt me. I have to minimize them again. It is extremely distracting and annoying, and often interrupts in the middle of something important. How can I stop Firefox from doing this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to start a application with a login window?

hi there
does anyone have any idea on how to start an application with a login window? a login window is the first frame or window to be displayed when an application starts running. and only correct login id and password have been entered the real application will start. any sample out there? thank you.

You can start a new thread by making a thread object and passing it an implementation of a runnable object. Runnable has just one method, public void run(), this is was gets executed in a second thread. perhaps the code you would use would look something like this.
<code>
// set up thread for login window
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// construct your login window here
// when you are done processing the
// password....
if(goodPassword) {
authorized = true; // a global variable
notifyAll(); // don't forget this
else {
System.exit(42);
}).start();
// control does not stop this code gets executed while
// the above thread is running.
// Set up main program here. This is done in the
// backround.
while(!authorized) {
synchronized(this)
{ wait(50); }
// now when the user logs in this frame pops
// up real quick.
myFrame.setVisible(true);
</code>
Hope you can figure it out.. good luck :)

How can I run a java-application on starting of Windows 2000

How can I run a java-application without any user on starting of Windows 2000?

How can I do that?

Hi, you have to put it in a Windows service.
To do this you have a program, Srvany.exe that allow to insert a .exe or .bat program in a Windows service.
For example, i develop a program, TomcatGuardian and i put it in a service because i need to run it in a server without Administrator logged in.

How to start OS X instead of Windows

Hello,
I installed OS Snow Leopard (latest version) and decided to install Win 7 Pro
After succeeding, i used the original DVD Snow Leopard to install Boot Camp
When all files where installed, i was asked to restart OK
Restarted, but !... don't restart ! stay as a dead computer.
Retried several times, no way !
My question (forgot !) HOW to start from nothing to the OS X system ?
Can someone tell me what kind of keys to push during restarting and opening OS X ?
So i can reformat Windows partition and restart a new installation (hope it will work !).
Thanks for your comment,
Regards,
Jean

Hold option key while booting and then choose the OS X partition.

Actually, I suspect you can't. You get various behaviors based on a combination of settings in Preferences > Interface; namely Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking; but it doesn't seem to make much sense as far as I can tell. Throw in the additional "application frame" wildcard on a Mac, and even just exploring the effects of the settings and drawing conclusions about them gets tricky. It sounds like you've got your windows floating, whereas I suspect many if not most users have opted for the more structured and seemingly more logical tabbed/docked method, in which case they haven't encountered your issue and don't really understand it. One might ask; if your new/current document is "in front" then what difference does it make if others behind it are minimized, maximized, or something in between?

Help! How to start windows in boot camp?

I have read several posts on this but I still cannot seem to get it started. I recently bought a macbook with bootcamp set up with windows xp. I had vmware fusion on my computer to use windows but I uninstalled it because I cannot use it for the purpose of windows that I need. Now, I do not know how to start windows on my computer. I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD. The boot camp drive does not show up. So, if I cannot start windows that way...is there any other way???
THANKS!

I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
It requires DirectX 9? Huh?
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD.
That sounds like your computer came with VM Fusion, and was not set up with boot camp. Please prove me wrong.
First, how many disk icons are on your Mac OS desktop? Is there just the Macintosh HD icon, or is there another disk icon labelled, say, "Untitled" or "Boot Camp".
Second, open /Applications/Disk Utility. Select your hard drive (not the Macintosh HD volume, but the actual hard drive, just above the Macintosh HD volume). Then click the "partition tab". How many partitions do you have. Does it show one HFS+ Journaled volume, or more than one partition and of what types.
Third, if you did see a second disk icon in step one, select it and hit CMD-I. What is its used and free space? Open it in Finder: is there a boot.ini file? A Windows folder?
Fourth--I should have thought of this first, sorry--some MacBooks have a bug that Option doesn't let you select an OS. So open Apple > System Preferences > Startup Disk and see if there is a Windows there for you to select. If so, select it and "reboot now" to boot into Windows. To boot back into Mac OS, you can either use the option key, or use the boot camp system tray icon to select Mac OS as your startup disk.
Finally, did your computer come with a Windows XP CD?
