I would guess that old version of Sawfish fails to send the
ConfigureNotify event on unmaximize. I don't know of a good workaround
really, perhaps you could refetch the position whenever the window
resizes? Or just patch Sawfish. Note that some of the
get_origin/get_geometry/get_position/etc. functions use the latest
value received in ConfigureNotify and some round trip to the server,
by "refetch" I mean use whichever one is a round trip. The GTK 2.0
reference docs say which it is, should not have changed from 1.2.
