# To subscribers of the xforms list from "George R. Welch" <george_j@leona.physics.tamu.edu> :

I want to put a window in a given place, and the only way to do
it seems to be with fl_set_form_position(). However, this function does
not work as expected.

Only the first window created actually get puts where it is told.
All subsequent windows get created with some offset that depends on the
window manager's decorations of the *first* window. Since the window
manager's decorations may not be the same for all windows, this means
that it is not possible to place more than one window in a known location.

Is there some way to tell the library to place subsequent windows
using whatever algorythm is used for the first window. That is, is there
some way to tell it to respect the arguments to fl_set_form_position()?

Respectfully,

George R. Welch
