mini-wm is a focus-only window manager. It doesn't modify requested
window positions; wherever you ask to be placed, there you are.
anaconda itself doesn't ask for anything special in terms of main UI
placement, that I can see. I believe gtk's placement algorithm will try
to avoid placing us across screen boundaries though.
Well, I hear rumours that today's anaconda can actually make it into X,
so I'll test this out myself and see how it goes soon :)
