By DOing the liberated button, I want it to jump back into the BF, but whatever the x-coordinate I provide, wm.prpos positions the button wherever it thinks fit. Eg, if the free button was at (0,100) wm.prpos puts it in the correct place at the end of the row of buttons at the top of the screen, eg (764,0), exactly as specified. However, if the free button was at the other screen edge, eg (972,50), wm.prpos puts it at (0,0)! If the free button was anywhere in between, wm.prpos puts it in some intermediate position (xxx,0). Surely this must be an "issue"?

I'll see if I can make it work for me. Per
