Hi Rinaldo,

With the new APIs, you can call Frame.setResizable(false). It doesn't do
anything in the current release.

> 	How does one specify where a window is to be placed?

You can use move(x, y), or reshape(x, y, w, h). In the new APIs you can
find out the screen size and resolution so you can place it in a reasonable
place.

In the new APIs you have a borderless window class called "Window". It is
always square though.

Have fun,
