I hesitated as well..  thus the "somebody check this" patch. ;)

The odd part is that it *is* getting saved:

% grep msgframe .exmh/exmh-defaults 
msgframe.geometry:      900x800+200+10
*msgframe.position:     +100+124

(and 'msgframe' is also in the saved *exwinPaths line, which is too long to 
paste usefully here).

So it looks like the geometry/position isn't *applied* when the window is
re-created at next startup.  Which points at Exwin_Toplevel, where the
geometry is applied....

As an aside, I suspect that both problems with .msgframe will *also*
apply to .ftocframe if that's a toplevel - I suspect that it's just not
as heavily used so nobody's noticed on .ftocframe.

Good, that probably should be there regardless..

OK, I wasn't *positive* that Exwin_Toplevel was safe to re-invoke, and
I had *no* idea where to put the check - the place we're currently dying
is probably *way* too late...
