Again, not what I am looking for and this has already been dealt with. 
His post is not the bug I was referring to and using the *standard* X
way of specifying window geometry at *startup* time is useful in many
cases.  If you want to know what is at issue, read the original post or
start X with no window manager and then start twm up.  Start an Xterm
and move the window or resize it.  You will see the interactive display
of the window position and size.

The bug is the fact that Kwm does *not* provide this interactive display
of window size/position.

Cheers!
