It may be in the spec but Java defaults to (0,0) if the bounds are not set.
It happens in the java layer by default I'm pretty sure.
If you want placemnt you will have to roll your own.
Btw calling setBounds befor setVisible keeps the winow from showing at 0,0
before moving to Location.
I think setLocation only works afte your visible
Call
frame.pack();
Dimension d = getSize();
int myX= ??
int myY= ??
setBounds( myX,myY,d.width,d.height);
setVisible(true);
