What I meant was, I have a frestore like:

frestore 0 418 80 484 1042 0 1,1 900 80 700 1042 0 0

which works fine, it creates my two frames that I want.  In 1.3.0-rc2,
when restarting X, the windows created upon startup (from my
init/session scripts), would go into the two frames, the first window
created in the first frame, and the second in the second frame.  So:

XTerm | Epiphany

Now I get

XTerm           | <empty>
Epiphany

with Epiphany above XTerm in the first frame.  What happened in
1.3.0-rc2 was that when the Epiphany window was about to be created, the
second frame would receive focus and the window would go there.

I've looked through the changelogs and a diff -r on the two trees and I
can't find any indication as to what change could have affected this,
but something has
