When you say non-zero, do you mean less than zero or just a little
more than zero (e.g. 2)?  Right before the .18 release, there were
some GUI/player positioning issues with certain window managers.  I
believe that the ultimate solution was to reset the GUI/player windows
to (0,0) if the current position was less than (3,3).  The assumption
being that this would address the strangeness in certain window
managers, but not have an impact on anyone else.  Perhaps that was
wrong?
