Windows keep jumping back after moving in Twm and derived window managers
by linuxlicious from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PE9C)
Hello, I'm dealing with a problem that seems specific to Twm (Vtwm, Ctwm) and I hope someone knowledgeable can help me with that. I love Twm but I also love Vtwm's virtual desktop (kind of unique, imo) but Vtwm doesn't seem to work as well as Twm does, so I moved to Ctwm to get the best of both and then some, but all three demonstrate the same problem. For instance, if I open xterm, move it to another part of the desktop, then switch to a different directory or run any command, the window jumps back to the location it was created at. Same thing happens with any web browser, haven't noticed that happen in other programs but most times have only one window open, so no need to move it around, unless I need to run , say xterm alongside another program, it gets very annoying if it keeps jumping avey from under the cursor, losing focus and going over another window, or even worse, it is created halfway outside the frame and keeps jumping back there and I have to keep moving it back to where I need it. I really would like to fix this somehow, if anyone has any deeper knowledge about Twm and it's derivatives and what might cause the issue, please help me fix it.
