NOTE TO ADMINISTRATORS:  I've twice requested to be added to this list
via xpert-request with no apparent results.

There was some discussion about this recently, and I'd like to make
sure I understand what's going on, since (about 3 months ago) the
source of at least a couple of window managers (including uwm) seemed
incorrect.

The way the size hints should work in an application, it seems to me,
is that if size and position are specified in the geometry then I can
set USPostion and USSize and the window will appear in the correct
position with the correct size.

Setting USPosition and PSize should mean that the window will appear
at the correct position, but that the user will be prompted for the size.

Setting PPosition and USSize means the window will appear with the
correct dimensions, but the user is prompted for placement.

And setting PPosition and PSize means prompting for both will occur.

Is this the intended behaviour?
