geometry option seems to have no effect #1

It seems that 9menu ignores the geometry option on Debian Jessie with Mate unless I am missing something obvious. :) 9menu -geometry 50*50 -fg black -bg green ...

Regardless of geometry settings the location does not change.

/edit Well, I don't know what the heck happened after a reboot all is good!

I think this is a Mate issue. I see this on both Debian and Ubuntu Mate 16.04. But the 9menu code hasn't changed.

As I understand it, the window manager can ignore the geometry calls made by an application and it seems pretty clear that that is what's going on here.

Thanks,

Arnold
