this tells the wm that the user, not the program, set the position.
Quartz-wm will honour these positions,
But what about the case where it works fine with the Gimp? When I
launch the Gimp, 3 windows automatically pop up and they cascade
properly. Surely the Gimp must be positioning these windows since X11
doesn't seem to be cascading windows. Or is this somehow another
exception?
no, quartz-wm is cascading these windows. It's placement algorithm is
currently:
1. if USPosition is set, use it
2. if WM_TRANSIENT_FOR == root window, centre the window on the display
containing the topmost window in its group
3. if WM_TRANSIENT_FOR is set, but not the root, centre the window on
the dialog's parent
4. find the topmost window in the same group, and cascade from it
5. if no other group members, place the window in the top-left corner
of the main display
