Hi,
With this SVN version, the windows are no more placed as they was in
the past.
- When I launch cinelerra, some are stacked, the ressources window is
correctly placed.
- If I use Window -- Défault Positions, I get the default positions as
before but the size is slighly less than the screen. In fact, there is
a border around each window.
- The placement is not saved between sessions.
I had not this behaviour with previous versions.
I cannot reproduce this with r901.

To close this problem:
I normally run gnome (2.6.14 from debian sid). The default window
manager is metacity.
After some discussions with Pierre on the IRC, I've done several tests.
1 - I've change the window manager itself with sawfish which is told
to be gnome complant.
The problem persist with sawfish
2 - I got rid of the whole gnome desktop anf installed wmaker.
With it everything was fine.
After fooling around, I've found a key formetacity in the gconf registery :
Workarounds for broken applications disabled. Some applications may not
behave properly.
And the details :
Some applications break specifications in ways that result in window manager
misfeatures. For example, ideally Metacity would place all dialogs in a
consistent position with respect to their parent window. This requires
ignoring application-specified positions for dialogs. But some versions of
Java/Swing mark their popup menus as dialogs, so Metacity has to disable
dialog positioning to allow menus to work in broken Java applications. There
are several other examples like this. This option puts Metacity in full-on
Correct mode, which perhaps gives a moderately nicer UI if you don't need to
run any broken apps. Sadly, workarounds must be enabled by default; the real
world is an ugly place. Some of the workarounds are workarounds for
limitations in the specifications themselves, so sometimes a bug in no-
workarounds mode won't be fixable without amending a spec.
So I've set the key to enable the workaround and this way, it is fine.
I probably have done an upgrade that changed the value of this key.

Jean-Luc
