One of the mwm users here noticed an odd thing: When he restarts
mwm, all of the applications he runs get put back where they
were, except for one I wrote.  All of the windows move up, but
then all of the others move back down and right when the
borders are put back on.  After a couple of restarts, my application
has crawled up the window.

I noticed that on his system, the window gravity hint was set
to NorthWest.  Could this be the problem?  If so, how can I set
it to the correct value?

My application is a shell with an Athena ViewPort containing an
Athena List, if that matters.
