This issue was created by revision 261f49870738.

In dwm, when a window move-then-show, the position does not get registered ,
i.e. the window still shows up at 0, 0. This might be the natural of dwm,
because it's a tiling window manager. I don't have any other tiling managers
to try.

Using show-then-move can work around but you would see there is a slight
flicker at top-left corner. When the window is just showed before it moves to
desired location.

For window manager like Fluxbox, since the move before show does take
effective and flicker is annoying, therefore I reverted back the behavior and
created this issue.

I made a mistake about this. I moved window use dwm's functionality instead of 
a simple click-and-drag on key-mon. Somehow, the position was reset, so it 
always showed up at top-left corner.

However, it seems there did have a problem with dwm, at least with version 
5.6.1. I used a simple window and hide and re-show every second, the window 
reappears a little lower. But after I upgraded dwm to 5.9, it didn't happen.
