I'm pretty sure that on most (all?) platforms positioning of windows is pretty much the domain of the window manager. So unless there's some way to ask the window manager to constrain your window position (and with some WM's there is, IIRC) then you are probably stuck. But even if your WM of choice does do this, then it's probable it wouldn't work for another platform, or even for an alternate WM on the same platform, so... In short, you probably will need to write a "My_Limited_Fl_Window" class, and even then (on some WM/platform combinations) you'll probably be allowed to drag it to some "illegal" position then have it snap back to a "permitted" location when you release the drag... Which is probably not what you'd want.
