Maybe another data point, dunno:
Today I tried the minimize/restore routine and either it helped at
first or my X just wasn't in its mood, whatever, but trying to cause
the relocation behavior to occur on purpose didn't happen, everything
worked properly no matter what I tried. But then a little while
later, I wandered off and let the screen saver come on, and sure
enough two windows "went away", to an invisible part of the screen.
But there was also another bit of behavior that usually occurs when
this happens that I'd failed to make note of before: one of the
windows that didn't relocate off the screen did move lower, but only
by one window border width.
Like I said, just one for the clue bin, no idea if it's a helpful clue or not.
