BTW,

    show_all(box) ;
    [ get geometry, calculcate new position ]
    set_position(box, POS_NONE);
    set_uposition(box, x, y);
    show_all(box)

does display the widget and then you see it move.

If I move the set_position(POS_NONE) call before the first show_all(),
then you don't see the box until the new location is set.  (In the
original email with sample code, that's what I had which is why I didn't
notice this behavior before.)
