This is not correct. :)
If you read the man page, it says that bottomright accepts the same x & y
parameters as Move does, and Move does not support 'c' suffix, maybe it
will support later, but not now. So, w+1c is just w+1; try w+1p.

This is half way incorrect too. :)
X and Y increments are independent, for example 'Resize 1c 1c' for xterm
with 7x14 font is equivalent to 'Resize 7p 14p'. And the actual X and Y
values in 'Resize 1 1' or 'Move 1 1' are usually in 4/3 or 5/4 proportion.

But you are right that the following two commands do not restore the
original positions (due to float/int rounding errors, may be fixed):

  Move w+1 w+1
  Move w-1 w-1

Thank you for your report.

Mikhael.
