Thanks -- that fixes the first problem (of a new window on an empty
screen).

However, I am still having the problem with Netscape: I have NS set up to
open its window at the maximum size for the screen. So I would hope that
fvwm positions it from (0,0) so that it fills the screen exactly with no
edge-gaps. But it actually appears at (2,2). This still happens after
applying the patch you sent. The patch I sent yesterday (where I subtract
2 from tmp_win->attr.x and y) seems to stop this problem, but as I said I
don't think it is the correct fix.

Thanks,
Ben.
