 AnotherLevel [fvwm2] window manager
 Fvwm Version 2.2.4

With large `virtual desktop'
xwininfo shows:
  Width: 1600

Not sure if this is the province of the window manager or what, but
would like to `fix' an annoying behavior of long standing.
Certain applications like `control-panel',`tksysv',`netcfg' or others
such as cbb [checkbook app], pop up secondary dialog windows for
different aspects of usage.  With the large virtual desktop these
secondary windows may appear in unexpected places or even out of
sight.
I'd like to make any pop-up windows appear in the near vacinity of the parent
window but have no idea how to control this.
