I'll reassign it to uwm since I have another machine with uwm installed and it misbehaves identically. Also that machine is running kdm and so the dm doesn't have anything to do with it. -jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Using your command line exactly, I get the window aligned on top& left. I assume the window manager is responsible for possibly aligning instead of letting the window go off the screen. However, if one forgets the '+' signs, stuff gets centered as you described. Were you in that case?

Bug#591669: x11-apps: [xclock] Processes negative geometry offset values incorrectly
Package: x11-apps Version: 7.5+5 Severity: normal When starting up xclock with negative offsets to the geometry option, e.g. xclock -geometry 120x240+-10+-10 xclock opens the window in the center of the display rather than offset left and up by 10 (pixels). This format for the geometry value might easily be output from a xwininfo execution. The X man page states for +XOFF: XOFF may be negative, in which case the window's left edge will be off the screen. And similarly for YOFF. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages x11-apps depends on: ii cpp 4:4.4.4-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpng12-01.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm62:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.10-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxkbfile1 1:1.0.6-2 X11 keyboard file manipulation lib ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxmuu1 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt61:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii x11-common1:7.5+6X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc x11-apps recommends no packages.
