[never 6 dec 96]
I've tried several times to write code to place frames at particular locations but it doesn't seem to behave consistently. There's a sample piece of code in the The Java Class Libraries: An Annotated Reference which purports to place a new frame with its corner where you click. The book shows what appears to be a working screenshot from Windows 95 but the same code doesn't work under Solaris. Presumably after call to setLocation(100, 100) a call to getLocation() should return (100, 100) but it doesn't. Under CDE it returns (105, 23) which almost makes some sense given that the Insets are 5 on the left and 25 on the top, but it looks like the insets are wrong as well.
