Can I run Squeak without a Windows Manager? only with the XServer...
You can run all X apps without a Window Manager being present. It's just a bit hard to move these windows around, but apart from that everything ticks on. With Squeak, it makes a lot of sense :-). Just create a special user you can login as, and have an .xinitrc with just: 'squeak -fullscreen <image>' for that user.
I'd rather use .xsession , and fix -fullscreen first.
At least here the parameter does nothing, whether with a WM or without.
What I see from the source is this: The window is always created with the saved size. In SetWindowSize() the fullscreen size is set via noteResize(), but when the window is mapped, the first ConfigureEvent does a noteResize() with the actual size (which still is the default), overwriting the requested fullscreen size.
