Dear Maintainer,

After discovering that xdaliclock 2.46 rejects the command line options
(-24 -noseconds -nocycle -fg black
 -fn "-adobe-new century schoolbook-bold-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -transparent
 -geometry -0-0) I've been using for years with earlier versions, I learned
from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030801#15 that if I
resize and move it to my desired location it is supposed to preserve it's size
and location the next time I run it.  Unfortunately, while it does preserve it's
size, when I move it to the lower/right corner of my 3840x2160 screen, then quit
and restart it, it doesn't appear in the same location.

I used dconf-editor to monitor the value of the /org/jwz/xdaliclock/geometry
setting in the dconf database.  When I run xdaliconf, the geometry is
58x17+2539+0.  When I move the xdaliclock window to the lower/right corner of my
screen, the geometry changes to 58x17+3781+2143.  When I quit xdaliclock and
restart it, the geometry changes back to 58x17+2539+0.

When I restarted xdaliclock I expected its window to appear at the lower/right corner
of my screen where it was located before I quit and restarted it.

In case it matters, I'm running fvwm 1:2.7.0-2 as my window manager.

I did add comment https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030801#20
to bug 1030801, but got no response, so I'm filing this bug with more details.
