Hi Craig, In the IDE it works correctly when startup is invoked from msg, but once the stack is built into a standalone it doesn't.
The standalone in question is just to test this issue, and has only a quit button. I build it with a size different from 200 by 200, so I can tell that the on startup handler runs, because the stack is resized to 200 by 200, but is not placed at screen loc 300,300 as expected. However the line does work as desired if placed into the preopenstack handler instead of on startup. I'm not keen to move my configuration code to the app's preopenstack if I can avoid it though - in the actual application that I'm working on that could be a bit untidy, the real-world case is more involved than the test stack of course.
