Aha! The window is consistently growing by a few pixels, that's why I wouldn't notice it until some random time! Thanks for clearing that up.
I couldn't find anything about this on a quick search of Tcl/Tk known issues, but it does seem like a likely source of the problem.

no, that is a known problem which also appears under windows. but maybe not under linux. every time you save the patch, the size gets increased by 1 or even 2 pixels... I think it is a tcl/tk problem. marius.

"wander" down the screen, until eventually, they are nearly off the bottom of the screen. I'm guessing the behavior is partly intentional, to enable tiling of multiply-opened windows, but it happens even when only one property window is open at a time.

Normally the real reasons is, that you've moved some patch elements over the top or left border of the patcher window. Then Pd's coordinate system, which has (0,0) in the upper left corner, tries to reorganize itself to the new position of the upper left (0,0) point - and it gets confused, which results in the Properties menu getting displayed out of focus.
You can easily test this using attached patch. Simple fix: Never place anthing beyond the upper or left border!
