There is no such automatically existing and automatically
applied option for Gtk+ apps.

The application has to explictly support it and explictly
call gtk_window_parse_geometry() (see its documentation) on
some of its windows.  If you need this for a particular
application and it makes sense for it, ask the author to add
such an option.
