So, you were right. The xorg config somehow ended up with an offset of a few
pixels. No idea how it got there, but it did.
My only big problem left is that pretty bad bug where there seems to be a
linked list corruption or somesuch in the window save code and only some of
my windows get some of their settings saved.
The others appear all over the screen, and take me 5 to 10mn each time to
resize and carefully put them where they belong. Very annoying :-/
I sent you the details with big screenshots showing the problem.
