This was answered by A. Sullivan yesterday, in summation:
Pager geometry is handled in ~/G/L/A/pager file
Iconified apps "box"(location) is handled by "IconBox" in
~/G/L/A/looks/look.yours. If this is set to 1 -64 -1 -1,
iconified apps go to the btm/left corner.
A suggestion - there are a couple of existing look.files which
have this IconBox-btm/left as the default; trying all the other
look/feel files is always a good idea to see what different
things do - they are there for a reason.

I'd say the keybindings for whatever editor you are using are
being overridden by the feel.yours file. Take a look at your
editors bindings and compare them to those in this file.

This is defined in the config.h - where all the other defines are.
Some have suggested a setting of 3 for a quick animation. I
personally use WharfNoAnimate - as it doesn't get any faster than
that!
