Well, there's: Style foo !UsePPosition Which will instruct FVWM to ignore the PPosition hint (which is probably what's biting you here --- effectively, the application is telling the window manager it knows best when placing its window, but in the above, you're instructing FVWM that you do in fact know better). Failing that, the output of "xprop" on this window would be useful, along with the output from: BugOpts ExplainWindowPlacement On -- Thomas Adam
