two surprises on upgrading to IRIX 3.2

We have recently upgraded to IRIX 3.2 and I notice (so far) two peculiarities:
(1) It seems to be impossible to force a stowed window to stay at
a location other than the original stowed location. Even after
dragging the icon to a new position, upon reopening and restowing,
the icon goes back to the location it had when first stowed.
Does anyone know how to make a positioned-by-hand icon stay at that
position through subsequent reopenings? If the solution involves
modifying some postscript file, please do not be too terse; I still
find postscript to be somewhat obscure.
(2) We have several programs which employ the textport to input data
to a graphics program to alter the image. They all tucked the
textport (a window about 40 characters wide by 3 lines high)
unobtrusively into the lower left hand corner of the screen, an area
into which our image never went. After recompiling and relinking
PREVIOUSLY WORKING CODE, I find the textport window is now a very
obtrusive 80 characters wide by 7 lines high centered at the bottom
of my image area. Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so,
have you figured out a remedy?
