Alsom I did not intentionall code and window-positioning stuff so I wonder
what causes this.The same doesn't happen on OS-X (just a note)....


I ma ybe responsible for this and the other reported moving windows issues. The code in (XGServer -styleoffsets:::::) uses hard coded values for the border offset when there is no other way to tell. The basic problem here is that X offers no way to ask the window manager in advance for the decoration offset and that GNUsteps insists on knowing, even before the window is displayed. The current hard coded values for the EWMH case are the one KDE had at the time I was coding this. Now the top size for the theme I am using has increased to 25, but I wont adjust the value just to get it right for me. We need to find a better general solution and perhaps somebody has a simpler idea than to change the whole frontend/backend communication on style offset.
