I'd mistakenly thought it was getting built and installed from the ATrpms 
packages. It isn't. :-( I'll discuss this with Axel to see what we need to do 
to get it incorporated. I finally got around to playing with my 350 this 
weekend, and just ended up downloading the version from Mathias' site. From 
what I understand, the latest version with enhancements by John Harvey won't 
work with ck100z, so you have to stick to the old one.

The size settings take hold in KDE, Gnome and XFCE4, but none of them 
currently honor the x/y offset location settings. I believe this is a Qt 
problem. The quick fix was to run in a window, and manually position the 
window, then turn off window decorations (or hide them offscreen) as Mike 
suggests. :-(
