If the frame was iconified previously, switching it to the current desktop would warrant a user-configurable option, I think (defaulting to "off"). If it was _not_ iconified previously, I think it would be very wrong to change the overall window configuration by moving frame around. >> What happens if you do this (via wmctrl or directly) and you're >> using an older wm?
