If I type these two commands in a terminal:xfce4-terminal --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --title=dtwmctrl -r dt -e 0,10,10,720,720I get the desired result (position and resize of window with title dt, noting than unlike gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal doesn't rewrite manually assigned titles)Naturally I would expect this to work:#! /bin/bashxfce4-terminal --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --title=dt && wmctrl -r dt -e 0,10,10,720,720The terminal displays itself with the correct settings and title but wmctrl is having no effect whatsoever.
WMCTRL not working after starting xfce4-terminal
bash;shell script;xfce4 terminal;wmctrl
The && concatenation operator causes the second command not to be executed until after the first command (xfce4-terminal) exits  (and only if the exit status indicates success, since it is a short-circuit logical operator). You should get the behavior you expect if you change && to ;  or simply place the wmctrl command on a separate line of your script.
