I have checked out the CVS Emacs source code from October 1, 2005, and
the bug existed at that time. Additionally, I have found a simple way
to reproduce the problem:
1. Start Emacs under the X Window system using the command: emacs -q
2. Evaluate the following Elisp:
(dolist (i '(1 2 3 4 5 6))
(let ((frame (make-frame '((top . 50) (left . 50)))))
(set-frame-position frame 200 200)
(set-frame-position frame 300 300)
(sit-for 0.5)))
You may have to evaluate the above Elisp more than once to see the
malfunction (although I see it every time).
The symptom is that not all of the frames end up positioned at x/y
coordinates 300/300. Some frames are positioned at 300+A/300+B, where
A is the width of the left border drawn by the window manager and B is
the height of the top border drawn by the window manager. Some frames
even end up at 400/400 !
I think I have a patch to src/xterm.c that may fix this. I will try
it and let you know if the patch works.
