FVWM: window placement on deiconification

This isn't a bug report, I'm just curious about the reason for a
particular aspect of FVWM's behavior.

Throughout 2.2 and in 2.3, the following happens:

        I move a window so that the top is not visible on the current page
        and then iconify it. When I deiconify it, the window appears
        with the top visible at the bottom of the current page.

I've always found this a bit disconserting. Whenever I install a new
version of fvwm2, I "fix" this behavior by commenting out a couple of
lines of code.

At first, I thought that it was an obvious bug and that it would
eventually be fixed. As new versions came out, I assumed that that was the
behavior that the developers wanted.

I'm just wondering, is this a bug, a feature, or am I doing something
silly to make FVWM place deiconified windows as above?

Cheers,

Ron
