The ability to set a default size,position, etc for an application window. Someone mentionned X-stuff for GEOS. Some friends of mine who develop X-apps (and Motif stuff) for networked systems say it may not be that hard, from what they've seen of GEOS in action. From what I recall, it basically involved adding to the communications and networking program(s) and kernel, and since GEOS uses the Motif interface, that part of the code would be a snap. These guys haven't used PC's much, and are used to working with high-end workstations so they may have given a very optomistic outlook. When I mentionned that GEOS was developed on SPARC stations, their eyes lit up and they wondered if it was being marketted on that platform, since it looks great and would give 'professionals' who use workstations at work and have a PC at home the same interface and make their lives generally easier.
