So what's happening here is we've added support for window gravity for  
placement... so there *might* be a bug there... I need to look into  
exactly what that ancient emacs is doing...

Can you run quartz-wm with DEBUG=1 in your environment.  I do this  
with this ~/.xinitrc:

export DEBUG=1
. /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc >& ${HOME}/xinitrc-debug.txt

---

Then just start up X11, run emacs and send me your ~/xinitrc-debug.txt  
(it might not have all the info I need, so I may need to send you  
another quartz-wm to drop in and get me more debugging info)...

Could you also bzip2 that emacs binary and send it to me.  I'll try to  
get it to run on one of my linux boxes to reproduce the problem myself.

Yeah... so I think emacs might be doing something "smart" rather than  
using gravity in my version... which led me to think that there might  
be a gravity bug still...
