At work, I'm using ctwm, and I started two xterms:
xterm -geometry +50+50
xterm
xprop on these windows returned:
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
user specified location: 50, 50
user specified size: 644 by 388
program specified size: 644 by 388
program specified minimum size: 12 by 20
program specified resize increment: 8 by 16
program specified base size: 4 by 4
window gravity: NorthWest
for the first one, and
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
user specified size: 644 by 404
program specified size: 644 by 404
program specified minimum size: 12 by 20
program specified resize increment: 8 by 16
program specified base size: 4 by 4
for the second one.
The difference seems to be in the `user specified location' line. I'd
assume that you see `program specified location' if the program has
specified that location.
I don't know anything about the underlying C functions used by xprop.
