When starting up xclock with negative offsets to the geometry option, e.g.

xclock -geometry 120x240+-10+-10

xclock opens the window in the center of the display rather than
offset left and up by 10 (pixels).

strange. Using your command line exactly, I get the window aligned on
top&  left. I assume the window manager is responsible for possibly
aligning instead of letting the window go off the screen.

However, if one forgets the '+' signs, stuff gets centered as you
described. Were you in that case?


Nope, the exact command which I reran just now to confirm is:

xclock -geometry 120x240+-10+-10

,i.e. same as above. I'm running uwm/ude with xdm if that is relevant. I certainly could see uwm being at fault here....
