This seems to be reproducable. I tried it several
times with the same results. It seems the blist_pos
parameter in the .gaimrc file changes by +1 every time
gaim is closed and then reopened. Therefore, if you
have the gaim window positioned in the upper right hand
side of your X session, after each successive close and
restart it moves by +1 pixels to the right which moves
it off of the X screen slightly. It is temporarily
resolved by moving it manually prior to closing it down
but then it just starts adding +1 to the blist_pos
parameter over again. To reproduce follow these
procedures:

1. grep blist_pos ~/.gaimrc to review saved position of
first parameter
2. open gaim
3. grep blist_pos ~/.gaimrc to review current position
of first parameter, you will see that the before saved
position is now +1
4. repeat...each time the first parameter will increase
by +1
