X11R7.4 multiwindow ignoring title bars for geometry


I just updated to the X11R7.4 release.

I start the X server in multiwindow mode using /bin/startxwin.sh. If I then type

xterm -geometry +0+0

into the visible XTerm, the new XTerm shows up in the top-left of the screen, but the title bar is off the top of the screen and not visible. This makes it impossible to move the window. I have to use +5+30 to get it where I want. This isn't a problem when I specify the geometry, but does cause problems when I run other applications that open their own windows. Most recently, I had this problem with wireshark running from a Debian Etch server.

This is a regression from the previous X11 release.
