haven't noticed anything like this w/ FBDev (XFree-3.3.5) .. i'm also
using ADB so it could be a problem with the USB (i believe it's much
improved w/ 2.3.x)

you just need to stipulate resolution in molrc ie:
resolution: 1024/768/60
depth: 32 #
or whatever relsolution yr monitor is set too .. I'm not sure what methord
wmaker uses to save the window location but it should be possible for it
to remember same when you startmol. Depending on what Terminal you use you
(i'm thinking here of Eterm) you should also be able set the border style
(and get rid of the menubar etc) ..
hope this helps
