[Bug: 21.4.22] set-frame-position and user-position

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I could not set frame position and make the frame *stay* at the new position. the frame jumped to a new position but jumped back right away. This only occured after the frame had been moved by mouse operation. I set "user-position" to true, but it did not help. In fact, it appeared that "user-position" was not part of the frame-properties anymore. Finally, I have to use command to make a new frame, reposition the new frame right away, and then delete the old frame. But what is the correct way to reposition a frame (after it has been moved by a mouse)? The following is some of my commands: (set-frame-property (selected-frame) 'user-position t ) (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 80 80) (frame-property (selected-frame) 'user-position) ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux sds-202s 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/bin/xemacs-21.4.22' XEmacs 21.4.22 "Instant Classic" configured for `x86_64-unknown-linux'.
