Hi,

As Jaimos said, geometry window is configurable via new GeometryWindow Posi=
tion
directive, the second one is really not something generally known, and maki=
ng it
both ways doesn't break anything.

Weirdness about initial drawing of the wire frame ... I cannot see any diff=
erence
here. I don't know how it differs.

Looks like removal of "Emulate" it doesn't break anything. It can be even
conditionally defined like GeometryWindow in configurations which have to s=
upport
both FVWM2 and FVWM3.
