Summary:
When I upgraded my projects to v5.xx various genies on various pages had their positions moved. 

Solution:
As an interim measure, CiT has created the ability for users to specify fixup offsets for each genie to counteract the movement which sometimes occurs during upgrades. On upgrading a project, a file called 'fixups.txt' will be read from the project directory. The format of the fixups.txt file is the same as that of a windows 'ini' file. The section headings specify the genie filename, and each item specifies the genie name with a value of 'xoffset,yoffset'. An example of the contents of fixups.txt is shown below.

[faceplates.ctm]
typeA = -4,-5
typeB = -1,0

Assuming that at the moment, when pages that use faceplates.typeA are upgraded the genie is being moved to the right by 4 pixels and down by 5 pixels, these offsets will put the genie back to where it should be.
