Thanks for reporting this. I was able to reproduce this bug after I
stopped assuming it was a panel obscuring issue, and started testing
without the panel.
The problem is that zwgc does not specify a window gravity, so the
window manager cannot adjust for the frame size properly. This
problem is not new in 9.4 or Metacity (Laura had simply configured
Sawfish not to have title bars, and hadn't done so in Metacity);
however, fixing it does trigger a bug in Metacity which would cause
zwgc windows to be improperly positioned when reverse-stacking is
enabled. I've submitted a zwgc patch to set the window gravity and
work around the Metacity bug, along with an upstream fix for the
Metacity bug (though I don't plan to apply that fix locally, since we
have to work around it anyway). The zwgc fix should be in the next
patch release.
