      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      A Java "top" Window always set the "program specified location" of the
      WM_NORMAL_HINTS. The value specified by setLocation is used and if you
      do not specify a location, the position is set to (0,0).

      So, it is not possible to let the window manager places a Java window by
      itself (some window managers can enforce this policy, but this is not
      the point).

      It will be good to be able to do this with something like:

           noLocation( boolean b)

                                                                                           


      JUSTIFICATION :
      The window manger is the application which has the better view on the
      set of all the windows on the desktop. It can do a real good job to
      place the windows for better usability (e.g., by reducing windows
      overlapping).
