At least I have learned something about the code.

I think you should not call adjust() in InfoBoxWidget::InfoBoxWidget() through 
updateSize(). The sky map seems to be created with a size smaller than the 
window and its size is only adjusted after the info boxes are created. If one 
info box is placed somewhere outside the initial region of the sky map but 
inside the final region of the sky map, it will be made sticky. adjust() should 
be called for the first time when the resize of the sky map takes place (or the 
sky map should be resized before the info boxes are created).

And also at some time during initialization the geo box seems to touch the 
right and lower edges and is set to be sticking there, even if its starting 
position is set to (0,0). If adjust() does not modify the m_anchor this does 
not happen. I didn't find out when this happens though.
