	My group has written several applications using the XView toolkit.
	Our applications tend to set up default initial placements for their
	windows (i.e., they set XV_X and XV_Y attributes).

	However, when we run the same XView-written applications under the
	control of the Motif Window Manager (mwm), Mwm does not "listen" to
	the XView applications' placement requests.

I have found XV_X and XV_Y to be generally unreliable for the
placement of Frames in XView.  The work-around seems to be
using the rect->r_left and rect->r_top from the frame's 
WIN_RECT attribute.  See p. 70 of the XVPM.

hope this helps
