Hello,

after searching in the archives, I have to bug you all about a
possibly OT question:

In VNC, I want to start Ethereal (and Ethereal only) for my VNC users.
One can accomplish that by putting the /usr/sbin/ethereal in the
xstartup folder in the .vnc directory.

I would like to define the size of the window at startup. However,
ethereal doesn't know the usual -geometry option.

Guy suggested four years ago ;) that it shouldn't be an option of
ethereal. Any ideas how I accomplish it then?

I'm using Ethereal v0.10.10

Regards,

Uwe
