This because you specify a location in your .Xdefaults, and so Epoch
tells the WM that the user specified the position. This can be
overridden in GWM, or I can give you a C level patch that will prevent
this, but the patch simply prevents Epoch from ever telling the WM
that the screen has a user specified position.

Actually, the screen probably is 100x58, but the WM is lying to you,
because of a confusion in various hints. Use (screen-width) and
(screen-height) to get the actual size of the screen.

P.S. Technical note - if compiled under R4, Epoch does set the base
height and width to 0, and sets the PBaseSize bit in the WM hints, but
that doesn't seem to help.
