Subject: twm places windows incorrectly

Package: xbaseR6
Version: 0.93 (XFree86[tm] 3.1.1) -7

I have DontMoveOff set in my .twmrc, and don't have RandomPlacement.

When I place a window with the left mouse button while pushing it up
against the it edge of the screen it is placed correctly.

However, if I place it with the middle button (for example, because I
want to drag out one of the other edges), twm places the window too
far to the right by the width of its border (that is, the border that
twm will place around the window).

Attached is a copy of my .twmrc.

(BTW, I've had this problem with every version of twm I've ever
used ...)

Ian.
