IRIX and Software

I've got two three I can't seem to find answers to....

First one, I've just got a 1600SW for my O2, but when it boots the screen is really bright runnig a Gamma of 1.8.

I choose customise > flat panel and it changes to the 2.2 Gama I've previously set and my eyes don't hurt anymore.

I can't figure out how to make it stay that way for each time I reboot.

Second one is when opening windows on the global desk they always open too far up and to the left od screen, ALT+F7 lets me move them, but it's tedious to have to do continually.

Third one is th Icon spacing on the desktop with the 1600Sw now installed. The Icons overlap or are too far apart., no middle ground.

Any tips??

Thanks

Well...just a thought on your first question of how to keep your settings stay after reboots. The obvious though is, how often are you rebooting that you are forced to worry about this?

My understanding of unix was it's meant to stay up.... in my specific experience I've on a routine basis had systems be up for hundreds of days at a time.

And sorry I don't have anything more helpful... I am jealous of your monitor though.
