Author twm doesn't honor geometry when exporting display

Source machine - Redhat RHAS V2.1
Target machine - Redhat V9

"export DISPLAY=10.21.xx.xx:0.0 ; mozilla -geometry 510x660+240-80
banner.swf" always produces a geometry with parameters I can't locate,
ie

xwininfo (on the target twm session)
xwininfo: Window id: 0x60002a "mozilla"

Absolute upper-left X: 292
Absolute upper-left Y: 292
Relative upper-left X: 0
Relative upper-left Y: 23
Width: 410
Height: 450
Depth: 24
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOutput
Colormap: 0x20 (installed)
Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: no
Corners: +292+292 -322+292 -322-26 +292-26
-geometry 410x450+290-24

The placement is variable, (that will be next problem to tackle), but
the size remains a constant 410x450 every time an export takes place.
I've manned xinitrc, xsession and twmrc without luck. I've modified
the navigator.xul without luck on both the target and source mozilla
comm.jar files (hence the window ID of just plain "mozilla".
My question? Where is the 410x450 parameter coming from overriding
the requested geometry from source server's command line?
How can I override the placement of the window within the screen?

Thanks

Paul
