Window positioning seems to be broken under KDE too, in my
experience. For example (first one I could think of),
when susefax (Java front end for Hylafax that ships with
SuSE) starts up, the window is placed in the very top left
corner of the screen. This means the titlebar is obscured
by the icon bar thingy that I have running along the top of
the screen. All other windows are placed smartly by the
windowmanager (kwm of course) ... but Java ones don't obey
the wm's placement policy. This puts me in agreement with
the "Java tries to do too much that is the responsibility
of the wm" camp. When a new window appears on my screen, I
want it to appear as I have defined in the window manager
configuration. Java windows do not do this, which is broken
behaviour IMO.
Yours,
