<div> </div>
<div>Under Windows (running Python 2.7), my root window appears to show up in random positions (usually clustered around the upper left of my display). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The position of my first Toplevel() window appears to be random as well. Subsequent Toplevel() windows appear offset from the position of the first Toplevel() window by a consistent(?) amount of space. I think the pattern for subsequent Toplevel() window positions might be described as a "tiled" effect?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are these Tkinter specific behaviors or OS specific behaviors?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What approach do you take with your window placement:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- accept the default window position as given by Tkinter</div>
<div>- proactively specify a window position</div>
<div>- center your windows on the desktop</div>
<div>- remember and restore window positions (and sizes?) across sessions</div>
<div>- other</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
