Well, sort of.
You can find the parent window using XQueryTree() and then get the
origins, border width, and window size using XGetWindowAttributes().
I've done this and it works in the limited testing I've done (tvtwm
and 4Dwm).
BTW, I find that windows created with the FL_TRANSIENT option seem to
end up where I expect them to be -- of course there is not necessarily
any window mangler decoration, which can be a pain if you need to drag
the window around for any reason -- but if I'm going to be anal about
window placement, then I probably *don't* want the luser dragging
things around...
