I think it's a problem within Fvwm. I have an application that constantly
hides and shows forms (popup icon menus). To prevent them from drifting
around (n.b. this problem also appears with the FvwmIconMan module and
some others) you can use fl_set_form_geometry() if you don't mind
overriding the WM's default window placement with your own "hard-wired"
one.
