Problems with window placement on suse and fluxbox 0.9.12 and higher

Hi all,

I successfully run fluxbox 1.0rc on fedora FC4 and FC5 at home without
problems.
At work, however, we use suse. Until fluxbox 0.9.11, I had no problems,
too. But I can't update to a higher version, because the window
placement is somehow broken. Windows, e.g. an xterm, which I open with a
keyboard shortcut, are all opened in the upper left corner of the screen
(x=0, y=0), even if there is already a window there and plenty of free
space e.g. in the upper right corner.
I didn't report this so far because I thought it's because the suse
version (9.1) is obsolete. But recently we had an update to 10.0, and
window placement still doesn't work, even with fluxbox 1.0rc.
I use self-compiled fluxbox binaries. I even once tried to configure it
with the debug option, but could not get some useful information from
the debug output why the window placement fails. Below is the output
after opening a second new window (0.9.15).
Any ideas what changed between 0.9.11 and 0.9.12 and can cause this
problem? Any confirmations?

Regards,

Thomas
