Yes, without center option enabled :)

I found what is causing this behaviour... It's gkrellm. 

I have clear screen with gkrellm running in dock. When I start for 
example xterm and it is enough space for it bellow the gkrellm window 
then xterm  is placed bellow gkrellm and not in the top left corner like 
it was in 3.4.2.
