Authorize_Translate

Some applications ask for a specific location. This should be honored unless you're using Xinerama and the application that asks for a positionning is not Xinerama aware and asks for an arbitrary location. For this kind of application you can use the flag "Authorize_Translate" that tells xfwm to translate the coordinates to the current screen even if the application asked for a specific location
