I'm having a problem with twm in it's initial placement of windows.
Even though I explicitly identify geometry for all my windows on startup,
windows will always be pushed down from the top (- in the y direction) on the
screen.  The end result being xterms, and everything else, wind up
lower than they should be, and I have to move each window upwards
to where it should be.  I've tried changing border widths, and even
redefining starting locations to lower coordinates than they should
be (hoping the "pushing" effect will be negated).  I'm tired of
moving all my windows by hand everytime I startup X.  Anyone have any
ideas?  Thanks in advance.
