I'm getting a gigantic plot window opening in direct graphics mode
since I upgraded to IDL 6.2. It may be looking at my video size and
using half the width or something like that (I have two monitors, so
about 3000 pixels effective screen width). Any plot command generates a
1500 pixel wide window. Is there a way to set preferences for a fixed
default plot window size?

I have the following in my .Xdefaults file. It might help.
Idl.graphicsWindowWidth: 640
Idl.graphicsWindowHeight: 512
-k.

Also, this problem seems to be Unix only. At least I don't have these probs
on XP. H.

We just ran into that problem yesterday. The solution was to disable the
"use 1/4 screen" option in the graphics section in the preferences.

I don't know about Unixes, but in Windows, it's File -> Preferences ->
Graphics.
