Hi ive tryed what you recommended which worked. The problem I have is with the Maya 3D software package, one of the child windows opens up in a different place each time. Maya uses a windowsPreferneces.mel file within which you can specify the names of child windows and where you would like them to start and thier sizes, I can do this for the rouge window in question and the first time it opens it obeys the windowsPreference file, however subsequent opens of the window ignore the file.
I want to know if I can force the window manager to force the application to open the child window in a predefined place.
