Summary: apps opening over slit(top/left)

Initial Comment:
I think this is a bug.  With evolution open, click
Send/Receive, the send receive dialog pops up over the
slit.

this seems to be a generic GTK problem... i didn't feel like installing 
evolution just to reproduce this, so i tried with xmms... the preferences 
dialog always opens at 0,0 regardless of where the slit is... 
 
the reason for this is because many gtk windows explicitly tell the window 
manager to place the window at 0,0 (i've seen this with mozilla 
thunderbird)... transient gtk windows also have the same problem, 
except that they don't explicitly say 0,0... blackbox just doesn't do any 
kind of placement for transient windows (it assumes that the window has 
already been placed). 
 
it's unclear whether the client or the window manager is responsible for 
positioning transients... one would thing it is the window manager's job, 
yet so many clients do it themselves...
