Would you please elaborate on the nature of the bug you perceive?  I get
the impression that you're referring to x_real_pos_and_offsets's
consulting this property in itself, but that is no bug, since the
offsets are not returned as the frame's left and top coordinates, but
are subtracted from its position relative to the root window as
determined from calls to XTranslateCoordinates and XGetGeometry instead.

Unfortunately there is a backlog of X window management related issues I
cannot investigate at the moment, so any input would be appreciated, or
rather, more so than in the past.

Thanks.
