I am able to reproduce your problem using a fresh install of fvwm and only "Style * ManualPlacement" in my ~/.fvwm2rc. Actually the placement of the "Tip of the day" dialog is controlled by the GConf key /apps/gnucash/dialogs/tip_of_the_day/window_position (editable with "gconf-editor"). This setting overrides the placement that you manually choose with FVWM. Also note that this setting is saved across runs of GnuCash, so if you manually move the dialog then close it, GnuCash will remember the new location in future runs. The immediate solution to your problem is therefore to put a more sensible value there. I guess that in the mind of the GnuCash developers this is a feature and not a bug, so it is unlikely that in the future GnuCash will adopt the behavior that you would like to see.
