- You are using OSF/Motif as your window manager, aren't you? Just
- asking because Motif has this annoying default of disregarding the
- resource's idea of position. You can get it to work by adding this
- line to your .Xdefaults:
-
- Mwm*clientAutoPlace: false
-
- (and the do:
-
- xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
-
- to incorporate the resource to the resource database)
-
- The only drawback from this resource is that after setting it to
- false, mwm no longer cascades new windows on top of each other. New
- windows that aren't explicitely given the location they are to appear
- will by default appear at the upper left corner (+0+0).
