If you don't start Emacs from the menu in xcfe, but open a terminal emulator window (e.g., xterm) and type 'emacs', you can append options that will allow you to easily fine tune what should happen. I'm sure you can modify the menu item to encompass such options, but at least in the experimentation phase, and actually every time else as well, it is faster, and more powerful, to do it from a command interpreter. Anyway, here are some of the options you wish to examine - do $ man emacs for more! -fh, --fullheight Make the first frame as high as the screen. -fs, --fullscreen Make the first frame fullscreen. -fw, --fullwidth Make the first frame as wide as the screen. -mm, --maximized Maximize the first frame, like "-fw -fh". -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
