I'm using 2.0.40 on an Indigo 2 IRIX 6.1. Not really played with
SmartPlacement much. I'll give it a try.

Ditto, all my motif programs do that too. I just assumed I was doing
something stupid in my code :-)
Also, something which annoys me ... some windows never have title bars
whatever I try to do with Style. Particularly Mosaic and Matlab plot windows.
This problem doesn't seem to occur with other window managers. Am I missing
something basic here?
