I suspect the answer will be "can't" - but I'm trying to set the
initial window size for lingot when it starts up. It differs between
raspberry pi OS and Mint, and playing with .Xresources doesn't seem to
help.
Can it be done, and how? It starts much larger on Mint (MATE), and I
need it to be a lot larger on RPi (no mouse on system for easy
resizing, for one thing).
I'm not sure it makes a difference, but the Pi is running with the lwm
window manager.
TIA.
There does not seem to be an awareness of the issue.
Settings don't point that way.

it can now be used to tune any instrument."
Now, look at the decorations on the window. Hmmm.

There is only an "X" to exit the application.
The other decorations are missing.

Thanks for the reply.
The image at www.nongnu.org/lingot/ is misleading - on MATE I get a full
set of decorations, while on the PI under lwm I get none at all, but
with the default WM, again a full set.
It turns out though that there's a second config file, ~/.config/lingot/ui-settings.json which sets a size and position. The
size is honoured, position AFAICS is not.
But I had to go to the source to find out.
