You probably have something like

  Style * NoPPosition

in your config file to formid applications to place their own
windows. Try disabling that line or use something like

  Style xawtv PPosition

afterwards to override the global style (possibly replace "xawtv"
with the name, resource or class of the window).

Lacking the necessary hardware I can't take a look at xawtv
myself, but this all sounds as if xawtv is doing something wrong.
Have you asked the xawtv developers about this?
