Is there a good reason that Epoch doesn't set the window_gravity for X
windows in the WM_NORMAL_HINTS?

When you use a wm such as Mwm which adds a lot of decoration, and use
positions of the form -x-y, the window manager can't properly place
the window since it doesn't know that the position was specified in
that form unless the client gives it a gravity.

Thanks,
 Hamish.
