I guess that explains what I observed. I start "cm" (Sun's calendar
manager) iconified. During a restart it gets stuck at 0,0 unless I
click on it. Putting an icon-title on the icon "fixes" it.
Ie. something has to happen to an iconified window in order for it to
take its correct position during start or restart, including things
like putting a title on the icon.
