Yesno ;).
Even when using the same monitor and the same WM and I didn't move the
windows within one session, they sometimes open as wanted and sometimes
e.g. under the panel.
Indeed, I sometimes switch between WMs/DEs and sometimes I use another
monitor with a different screen resolution, but the GIMP screenshot was
done after using GIMP within the same openbox session, using the same
monitor and resolution, without moving the GIMP window. I just closed it
and opened GIMP sometime later again and the position changed.
The JWM issue with QjackCtl windows is a little bit different, sometimes
a QjackCtl child window opens and covers all other windows on all 4 work
spaces.
I very seldom experienced such an issue when using Xfce4 or GNOME2, but
for JWM and openbox such issues are not that seldom, it happens several
times a day.
