Dig this, Mandrake knew the problem with E and Swarm!

[Paul Johnson]

OK, I contacted Mandrake at VAResearch and he knew instantly what the
problem was with E and Swarm, Here is is answer:

I bet I know why :)

in enlightenment, desktops other than 0 are implemented as virtual root
windows.  tk probably makes some incorrect assumptions about all of
these
things.
lots of applications do.
assuming your window is a child of the root window is a false
assumption, at
all times.

mail the tk folks and file a bug report, likely.

I have confirmed that this is indeed the problem! On Desktop 0, tcl is
able to get window positions, Swarm saves positions fine. ON any other
desktop, tcl reports the position as top left (0,0).

Desktop 0:

$ wish8.0
% wm geometry .
200x200+557+524

Desktop 3:

$ wish8.0
% wm geometry .
200x200+0+0

So as long as you use only the first Desktop, window positions are saved
fine.  Oh, I'm so happy.
