in reply to Sizing Tk Widgets WRT the Taskbar

I understand your question, but I must say that doing it this way (and thus not considering any panels or taskbars): 
# Create the main window
my $main = MainWindow->new();
# Maximize the window
my ($screenw, $screenh) = ($main->screenwidth, $main->screenheight);
$main->geometry($screenw."x".$screenh);

Works for me on both KDE, Gnome and Win98. It just maximizes the main window and does not go behind panels or taskbars.

    Hmmm,
    Interesting... I'm doing the same thing and it doesn't work for me! Here's my code below: 
    my $mw = MainWindow -> new ();
$screen_h = $mw -> screenheight ();
$screen_w = $mw -> screenwidth ();
$mw -> geometry ($screen_w . "x" . $screen_h);

    Any suggestions?
