        If you upgrade to FVWM 2.5.x, you can try

"Style * FixedPPosition".

This was the only thing I found to help after Sun broke initial window
positioning worse than ever with the 1.4.1 release of Java.

        (I believe Sun's official label for this breakage was "a fix". Sun
have been finding new ways to break initial positioning in Java since
the beginning of 1998, when bug 4102292 entered their Java bug database.
I haven't looked in about a year, but I'll bet it's still open - along
with about 50 others describing the same problem in slightly different
terms or with respect to different window managers. They just don't seem
to get it.)


Cheers,
Bob
