X doesn't allow absolute positioning of windows, but you can suggest a
position.  We don't right now suggest anything, letting the window manager
do what the user has asked for.  While it wouldn't be technically
impossible to give such hints (though the upcoming multi-object properties
makes it trickier), I'm a bit leery of messing with that.
