All windows have parent relative coordinates under X, and when you specify the `top' or `left' parameters, the "user-specified position" hint is set which politely asks the window manager to place the window where Emacs asked it to be. The window manager is always able to ignore those hints. Many window managers do just that. > But this is a MINOR point anyway, I could even live with that.
