Hi Jonathan -

Here's my WwInit line for the initial position of a widget. xpos is a
simple calculation to offset the left edge so the widget is centered
horizontally. ypos is usually 0 for the WwInit call, and something else
for subsequent WwMainWindow calls.

base = WwInit('dn', 'Dn', layout, Title='DN Control Panel', $
/Form, Position=[xpos, ypos])

This is using olwm as the window manager. Some window managers may not
honor the position statement, but I don't know which window managers those
are. Also, I recall that IDL does not honor a 0,0 position. Could those be
the coordinates you are giving in your position?
