It was a really weird problem. Textedit windows have a leading space in their window name: " Text Editor ..." When you restart fvwm with "Restart", this is saved as "[WM_NAME] Text Editor ..." in the session restart file. When it is read back, the leading space is stripped from the name. Hence, fvwm does not find the window in the restart file, can not read the old icon position and kicks off the normal icon placement code. I fixed the leading space problem, but fvwm still trusts the window title blindly when parsing the session restart file. I guess that can be exploited to cause a lot of funny problems. And a second problem was that when a window provided its own icon window, it was just dumped at 0 0 upon a restart and not moved to the position that was stored in the window structure. > Your recent icon placement patch fixed that.
