Even after unticking the boxes, E Still misbehaves with Memo, Eterm, and
mplayer.

Cool :)

Fact Eterm gets lost is *different* from fact Memo does not show up when
I start E.

Trivial to repro for me. Kill Memo, restart it from a console ... go in
Lost list (what's abnormal), resize it because E limited creation to
monitor size (with both box unticked).

Is that in public tree ? I will rebuild E overnight. Gimme 18h.

I think it will show Memo on some "random" monitor, in small size, and I
will complain that Memo is not created in the right/full size as it used
to few weeks ago. My Memo is created to size 256x3452 ... so if as dev,
you have a funny hack to try to create directly a window to this size,
you can test the issue without filling 200 entries in an app you wont
install anyway :)

lemme try ... YES :) this will do:
Eterm -g 200x100
as long as THIS does not create an Eterm way bigger than your monitor
(when the boxes are unticked of course), I *WILL* complain there is a bug.

See you overnight.
