Yes, xprop for firefox does indicate "program specified location":

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                program specified location: 0, 0
                program specified minimum size: 0 by 0
                window gravity: NorthWest

And I notice that line does not appear when I run xprop on an Evolution or gnome-terminal window, both of which open correctly.

Is there a config file for this somewhere where commenting that instruction out for firefox might solve the problem?

Thanks,

Bill
