It may be sawfish :)

   Q: The menu panel (the narrow one at the top) is sitting in the middle
   of the screen when I start GNOME.
                
   A: This may be a sawfish-specific problem. If you are using sawfish,
   then open the control center and find the options for sawfish. Under
   Placement you will find a checkbox for Ignore program-specified window
   placements.. This needs to be unchecked.
   
   If this doesn't work, take the longer route provided by Robert Soros
   on gnome-list: " I ended up logging out and switching to console to
   edit my ~/sawfish/window-history file... which contained the line "

   ("panel
    (type . unframed)
    (position 0 . 23))

   " Editing the file (with 0, 0 coordinates) during the gnome session
   then logging out was useless as it would just resave the file as upon
   exiting.. "
