Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Compiz in Maverick has a bug calculating the correct placement in
Maverick when using a negative geometry value to place a window at/near
the right and/or lower edge.  The following worked correctly in Lucid
and still works with Metacity:

xterm -geometry 80x25-0-1
xeyes -geometry -0-1

In Compiz these windows are shifted upwards and to the left.  They are shifted approximately for as much pixels as they are high / wide.
When I remember correctly, the X functions use the upper left corner of a window to draw it; so I guess the calculation for that point is somehow done twice (right edge - width - width, lower edge - height - height).

As Metacity does this right, compiz is my suspect and not any X driver
or library.
