Apparently everything worked OK at http://www.savonsanomat.fi/,
(I clicked about 15 links) but when I came back I found about
20 of these 0 x 0 dialog windows waiting for me.  WindowMaker
has the same behaviour as your wm.
I had this problem a lot with 4.5x but it is the first time
that it happens with 4.61 BSDI.
