RE: address@hidden: RE: set-frame-position - is it a bug?]

[Drew Adams]

Yes, I would guess that it is Windows specific, since Windows uses a
different menu bar (IIUC).

    I can't reproduce this.  Maybe this is a Windoze-only bug, or it's
    fixed in the current CVS.

    (On GNU/Linux, there is a different frame movement bug, which was
    previously discussed on this list, that's not caused by Emacs but by
    the Metacity window manager [apparently the latest version of Metacity
    doesn't like programs to specify window positions; other window
    managers work OK].)
