[Solaris Xinerama] Ghex placed in a wrong position after changing from xinerama to single head

I am running Sun's stable build 12 - (CVS snapshot date 'Tue Oct 15 15:00:00 BST 2002'). Not too sure if this bug belongs to here or not. Please move to the appropriate component, if this is not to be filed under this product. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure a Xinerama server with two screens on left (scr0) and right (scr1). 2. Invoke both ghex and gnome-calculator in scr0, and drag 'ghex2' to src1. 3. Turn off xinerama mode, and configure as a single head system. As super user, edit /usr/dt/config/Xservers file replace the Xsun startup info with ":0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner" 4. Select Logout from the 'Actions' drop down menu and enable 'Save session' check box then click on OK and then login back. 5. The 'Calculator' comes up properly on the screen (as expected), but 'ghex' comes at the edge of the screen. I'll attach two screenshots to explain the bug scenario.
you didn't attach the screenshots ;)
The session has ghex at a position outside the screen area when reloading the session when logging back in. Metacity's constraints force it back into the now available area, but leave it as close as possible to the old position. Sounds to me like metacity is behaving exactly as it should here, unless I'm misunderstanding somehow.
