starts at the tall pic's top left corner, effectively moving the frame to the 
right.. the more pics that display..the more it moves

GDK_GRAVITY defines the reference point of a window.

http://developer.gnome.org/gdk/stable/gdk-Windows.html#GdkGravity

Xfwm does not support GDK_GRAVITY correctly.
I think it is a Xfwm bug.
The gphotoframe window gravity needs be set to
GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST forcelly with Xfwm.

I added new gconf key as a work around for the bug.
I attached a test version.
Can you try it with the following command?

% gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gphotoframe/gravity "NORTH_WEST"

At first glance this now works correctly with the command+beta version. Thank

GNOME Photo Frame ver.2.0 uses GSettings instead of GConf.
And, now the 'gravity' key is in new geometry section.

% gsettings set com.googlecode.gphotoframe.geometry gravity "NORTH_WEST"

I'm using version 1.5.1 and don't know how to fix this problem. Can you show me 
more details? How to use the command? (Xubuntu 12.10)
