Are the dimensions of the offending window larger than 989x336 ?
If you use PlaceAgain on the offending window, does it get placed
properly?
The application might be lying to FVWM about the size of the window
when the placement request is made and then resizing the window
afterward. I see this behavior in the Evolution spell check window
and fix it thusly:
DestroyModuleConfig FE-PlaceWindow: *
*FE-PlaceWindow: Cmd Function
*FE-PlaceWindow: add_window PlaceProblemWindows
DestroyFunc PlaceProblemWindows
AddToFunc PlaceProblemWindows
+ I ThisWindow ("Evolution", "Spell checker") PlaceAgain
