+Subject: [PATCH] Steam patch
+
+Steam, and steam windows (games), trigger a ConfigureNotify request every time
the window
+gets focus. More so, the configure event passed along from Steam tends to have
the wrong
+x and y coordinates which can make the window, if floating, jump around the
screen.
+
+This patch works around this age-old issue by ignoring the x and y
co-ordinates for
+ConfigureNotify requests relating to Steam windows.

+steam
+=====
+
+Description
+-----------
+The Steam client, and steam windows (games), tends to trigger a
ConfigureNotify request every time
+the window gets focus. More so, the configure events passed along from Steam
may have the wrong x
+and y coordinates which can make the window, if floating, jump around the
screen. Another observed
+symptom is the steam window continuously sliding towards the bottom right
corner of the screen.
+
+This patch works around this age-old issue by ignoring the x and y
co-ordinates for ConfigureNotify
+requests relating to Steam windows.
+
+It should be noted that this is a simple and crude patch, and while it can be
made more generic
+I have intentionally left it hardcoded against steam in particular as few
other windows behaves
+this badly.
