Actually it should jump. It requests NorthWest gravity, but moves self as
if it had
StaticGravity. As the result it should slowly shift up-left-wards.

I had to add a piece of code that would override XV gravity to be static
(if window class is XVroot ) into AfterStep in order to prevent it from
shifting.
