Hi Cesar and all,

I'm quit unhappy with the following commit:

-------
commit d86ac8ce4b16d41699ec64a3d88fd8d2c760b770
Author: Cesar Strauss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

    Fix for dialogs drifting downwards on Cygwin/X.

    On Cygwin/X, reopening a gschem dialog restores its original 
position,
    but with a small vertical offset.

    The workaround is to show the dialog before restoring its position.

    The docs for gtk_window_move() offer a possible justification:
      "Most window managers ignore requests for initial window positions
      (instead using a user-defined placement algorithm) and honor 
requests
      after the window has already been shown."

    The downside is, if you have a slow system, you could see the dialog
    appear briefly at the old position, I suppose.
---------

Even with a fast computer the relocation of the dialogs is annoying. The 
dialogs appears in front of the center of gschem first. Then the dialog 
is moved outside the gschem window. Finally gschem has to redraw the 
area of the first position of the dialog.

Can we revert that commit, or is there a better solution for the dialogs 
problem?

Regards
Werner
