They can still enforce their position with the user specified position hints (which fvwm is forbidden to ignore by the spec), or change their position afterwards. In 2.4.x, there is no way to prevent thisi. But because of the ever growing number of applications whose developers think they know better where the windows should appear than the user, I've implemented a few new styles to control that behaviour in 2.5.x: Style * NoUSPosition Style * FixedPSize You may want to apply these styles only to the misbehaving windows, not all windows. The latest release is fvwm-2.5.2, but it is *unstable* and may crash at any time, when the wrong features are used (there are known crashes with dynamic menus and the MenuStyle command not using the default style).
