A wm issue

[roger]

Hi,

I've got a (small?) wm problem. It's not specific to XFce since I observe the 
same unexpected behavior with KDE, Gnome and others. Obviously the writers of 
XFCE are competent wm guys, so they might help me in finding the cause of 
this problem.

Here is my issue:

When I launch Mozilla (1.4), its window always open at the screen top left 
corner (position 0.0) regardless the workspace margins. A second window will 
fully overlap the first one, and so on...

I get the same behavior with a small Motif-based program I wrote, in which I 
do not specify any initial position (not hardcoded nor in my 
.Xdefaults/.Xresources)

Again this non-intelligent placement happens with all window managers I've got 
except mwm.

What may be curious is that Netscape (should be similar to Mozilla) as well as 
nedit (linked with Motif 2.1.30) do behave as expected (intelligent initial 
placement).

My system: Mdk 9.2 - Linux 2.4.23 - XFree86 4.3.0 - XFce 4.0.1

Thanks,
Roger
