That reminded me too. I have committed a workaround for this issue to 
gnustep-back now.

Incidentally, you would observe the same issue for the first application 
started after removing the _GNUSTEP_FRAME_OFFSETS property from the root window 
(xprop -root -remove _GNUSTEP_FRAME_OFFSETS). And also for every application 
under WindowMaker when you set the GNUstep default GSIgnoreRootOffsets to YES.
