Also, I noticed that if I put all my firefox windows at the bottom right, and then quit (save firefox session), then start firefox up and click to place all the windows, once the last window has been placed, they rearrange themselves back to the bottom right. so the rearrange thing is probably the session loading windows placements. annoyingly, it doesn't seem to remember minimised states. but that is probably a firefox-ism ? a related side-note, i am writing a program with fox-toolkit, and I have just noticed that it does not allow me to click-place the window. I used apt-cache rdepends libfox-1.6-0 and found that musicmanager uses fox toolkit so i aptitude install musicmanager and then ran it with gmm and - confirmed it does not allow me to click-place it. fox-toolkit example programs will probably demonstrate this too...
