I've checked in a fix.  But beware, in 21.3 left and top referred to the outer 
coordinates without window manager decorations.  In CVS current, left and top 
is the coordinate with the window manager decorations included.

So don't expect 21.3 and CVS current to end up at exactly the same position, 
there will be a difference that is the height/width of your window manager 
decorations.
