It took a fair bit of iteration to get the previous version to work without visual artifacts when presenting windows.

I'm running gschem on cygwin.
Anyone else seeing this?
Yes, gschem on cygwin as well.
I think it's a bug in Cygwin/X multi-window mode, triggered by new code
in gschem that restores the dialog positions.
The attached patch contains a workaround: show the dialog before
restoring its position.
The patch is also available in the patch tracker:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix for dialogs drifting downwards on Cygwin/X.
On Cygwin/X, reopening a gschem dialog restores its original position,
but with a small vertical offset.
The workaround is to show the dialog before restoring its position.
The docs for gtk_window_move() offer a possible justification:
"Most window managers ignore requests for initial window positions
(instead using a user-defined placement algorithm) and honor requests
after the window has already been shown."
The downside is, if you have a slow system, you could see the dialog
appear briefly at the old position, I suppose.

Rootless mode appears to work better: 1) Install WindowMaker 2) Close Cygwin/X 3) Type: $ export DISPLAY=:0 $ X :0 -clipboard -rootless& $ wmaker & $ xterm I will try to make a test case and submit a bug report to the Cygwin/X project.

gEDA-user: dialogue boxes drifting each time they are opened (gschem 1.2.0)
I've noticed that with 1.2.0 the dialogue boxes move a little bit (downward) each time I open them (e.g. attributes dialogue, or status dialogue). You can easily see this by just opening gschem, closing it and opening it again. The Status box moves down a bit each time. This can be especially frustrating with attribute dialogues that keep drifting off the bottom of the screen, and have to be dragged back to a useable place. I'm running gschem on cygwin.
