Does it happen for all windows, or only those which have been resized?
E.g. what happens to your many xterm windows, for which the size isn't
controlled by GNOME preferences?

Unless you are using some external helper like devilspie, the only thing
dealing with window positioning on a GNOME desktop is metacity.

Apart from the window positioning (which looks like no positioning at
all), is metacity working properly? Moving windows, titlebar menus,
switching workspaces…

Thanks,
