Yes, xprop for firefox does indicate "program specified location":
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
program specified location: 0, 0
program specified minimum size: 0 by 0
window gravity: NorthWest
And I notice that line does not appear when I run xprop on an Evolution or gnome-terminal window, both of which open correctly.
Is there a config file for this somewhere where commenting that instruction out for firefox might solve the problem?
Thanks,
Bill
