I didn't change my configuration file, and now the two emacs sessions I start (one as me, one as root) no longer end up where I want them. I've tried with -q --no-site-file --no-site-lisp, and with either -g geometry --geometry=geometry I can set the window size, but not the position. It's a bit annoying, as one of the windows is to be positioned off-screen, in another FVWM page, and now I need to go around and move it manually. I also don't seem to be able to set the position a gnuclient window, but that also happened with 25.3. Can anyone duplicate this problem? -- HASM
