Gee, and here was me thinking that X apps should follow STANDARDS and take arguments like -geometry and -iconic.

Hello,

I've been looking for a quick and easy way of starting mozilla 
fullscreened. Starting mozilla (1.5), and pressing F11 does what I want.
However, I want to remove the "press F11" bit so that the fullscreening 
happens automatically when I start the browser. Is there an easy way of 
prentending I just hit F11?

Cheers,

Geoff

Not really.

The particular instance of mozilla I have in mind is running on a box 
with no keyboard in a locked storeroom, and I want a cron job restarting 
  mozilla at 3 in the morning, every morning. And I don't want to have 
to go to that machine, plug in a keyboard and press F11 for some 
fullscreen goodness...

Basically mozilla is running as a presenter to a bunch of TVs, but it 
starts to flake out after about 18 hours - hence me wanting to 
automatically restart  it when no one is looking.

Cheers,

Geoff
