Nope, this sounds like one of the many bugs in uwm.  Remember that the
USSize, USPosition, PPosition, and PSize are just hints to the window manager,
it can choose to ignore them if it desires, although this is not very nice
behavior.  The ICCCM (Inter-Client Communications Conventions Manual) was
written to try to define what the expected behavior is with these an many
other inter-client conventions.  A copy can be picked up anonymously from
