I'm not sure whose bug this is, XForms's or Xlib's, but the results
are confusing. Experiments with using XGetGeometry() indicate that X
is returning oddball results.

I think the problem is the fact that you're trying to convert a
managed Window into, effectively, an unmanaged Window. You might want
to call fl_noborder() prior to calling fl_winopen() to create the
Window unmanaged.
