I keep my main panel (what MS would call the "taskbar," I think) on the left side of the screen instead of the bottom, and application windows in FC1 have always opened with the left side of their windows abutting the edge of that panel, which made perfect sense.
For some unknown reason Firefox has suddenly started to open up with its window aligned with the left side of the *screen*, so the left side of the firefox window is *under* the panel, which is highly aggravating.
Since other apps are still opening properly, this may be something specific to firefox, but the search terms I can think of to describe it don't turn up much on google, and Fedora (or gnome) was clearly controlling this behavior originally. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening or how to control it?
Thanks,
Bill

Firefox may explicitly set its initial window position, but be too unsophisticated to notice the panel there.
If you run "xprop" and click on the firefox window, the section WM_NORMAL_HINTS may indicate "program specified position" or "user specified position" which would create this problem.
I don't have firefox installed at the moment or I'd check.
