Well, you didnt mention the window manager you were using, but if your using
Motif, its probably a setting in your .Xdefaults file that needs tweaking.
Try putting the following in ~/.Xdefaults:
Mwm*clientAutoPlace: False
See your friendly documentation for exactly what this does. There are a number
of such resources which may be of interest to persons doing widget programming.
Personally, I also like
Mwm*interactivePlacement: True
Anyway, have fun :)
