Currently cou can't do anything about it. Fvwm always honours the
position that a transient window (like said mozilla windows) asks
for, and if it asks for 0 0 it will appear there. This has
bothered me too for a long time, so I just wrote a patch:

 - Transient windows are placed like all other windows if neither
   the PPosition nor the USPosition hint is set. In other words:
   The mozilla windows are placed at a sensible place on the
   screen.
 - New style options

     NoUSPosition/UseUSPosition
     NoTransientPPosition/UseTransientPPosition
     NoTransientUSPosition/UseTransientUSPosition

The patch will be included in the upcoming 2.4.1 release, or - if
you can't wait a second longer - in tomorrow's daily snapshot.

Bye

Dominik ^_^ ^_^
