Can I confirm that I was using a remote 'regular' emacs -
GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2008-05-24 on builder16.centos.org

Hi everyone,
First of all I'd like to thank Jeremy for all his time and effort
spent on improving X11 for us. Really a splendid job!
But, I can also reproduce this geometry issue, and since it only
seems to happen for xemacs (xclock for example works fine) I dug
around a bit in my .xemacs dir. I tracked the issue down to this
line (ok, two lines) in my ~/.xemacs/init.el:
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:size "11pt" :family "Fixed"))) t))
If I put only those into my init.el, running
xemacs -g +10+10
will open a window at +10+10 and then jump to the upper left-hand
corner. Without that line in, the window stays in the right place.
Now I don't know where to track this down further, but I have to
admit that something has always been funny with this setting. When I
open xemacs, the font indeed seems to be 11pt and fixed, but when I
change to 10pt (or any other size) and back to 11pt, some of the
characters (most notably the ampersand) look slightly differently. I
never bother to track this down and it may be completely unrelated.
I'm running XQuartz 2.3.2_rc1 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple23), OS X
10.5.5 on an Intel MacBook, and my version of xemacs is 21.4 (patch
21), darwin9.2.1 installed from macports. The output in x11-
debug.txt for both cases (= with and without the above line in
init.el) is identical. If anyone has a clue about tracking this
down, ideas are welcome.
Cheers,
Jeroen

I cannot reproduce this either.
I can position xterms and emacs windows at will using the -geometry
argument.

The window positioning behavior is just as broken as in
2.3.2beta3.
As mentioned on the -dev list, I can't reproduce the problem.
I might be able to be more helpful if I'd found one single instance
where 2.3.2-recent actually worked right, so that I could narrow
down
where the issue is. But I assure you this is entirely broken and
you'll
be hearing about it if you release 2.3.2 as-is.
The most easily reproducible example I have at the moment is
* launch x11
* ssh to machine running current Fedora 9
* emacs -geometry 80x50-0+0
* watch emacs window pop up at the right then bounce to the left
