It sounds like your ~/.fluxbox/apps file might contain the stored
dimensions of gvim and is restoring them on startup. If so, you
should be able to remove the corresponding setting lines and use
Fluxbox->Reconfigure (I don't remember exactly where that Fluxbox
menu option is stored by default since I've rejiggered my own menu)
Alternatively, you might have some sort of :winpos command in your
(g)vimrc file that is moving the window to someplace you don't want.
As an aside, I have the following in my ~/.fluxbox/keys file that
allow me to slam a window to the corresponding top/bottom/left/right
side of the screen:
Mod4 Left :MoveTo 0 *
Mod4 Right :MoveTo 0 * Right
Mod4 Up :MoveTo * 0
Mod4 Down :MoveTo * 0 Bottom
so I just use the Win+{left/right/top/bottom} key and it
automatically pulls the corresponding side to where I want it. I
can then use Win+rightdrag to resize the window by clicking anywhere
inside it (your configuration might use Alt+rightdrag to do the
dragging). You might also be able to use Win/Alt+leftdrag to move
the window if that's easier. I know Fluxbox can also be configured
to remember various window-settings, so you might want to change
those (right-click on the item in the toolbar and change what is
under the "Remember" menu for the application).
