Thanks very much for your quick response!
I'm almost sure it's not xrandr related. I set all of the xterm
parameters explicitly, e.g.,
"I" Exec xterm -j -title ALEX -geometry $STD_COLS\x$STD_ROWS-0-$BOT_OFFSET -fg brown -bg
ivory -fn "-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--$MED_FONT-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" &
where the STD_COLS etc are defined as environment variables.
When I dock the machine, the geometry of all my screens are exactly as I've
set them up to be, at least according to :FvwmIdent, that is, :FvwmIdent
reports exactly the same information, whether I'm docked or not, but somehow
the actual geometry is quite different from the way it should be.

I'm running fvwm using ubuntu hardy on a Dell D630 latitude. Whenever I
attach my latitude to a Dell docking station, my desktop layout is changed.
The only aspect of this layout I care about is the location of a bunch of xterm
screens. When I click the identity tab, all looks exactly the same as when
I'm not docked, but the locations of the xterm screens are all moved.
Any advice on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Is this xrandr related? Just restart FVWM.
