I saw these functions, but the documentation (gtk_window_get_position) warns that this will almost always get it 
wrong and, in any case (gtk_window_move), window managers usually ignore calls to set an initial position.  But 
I need this window to appear in a particular position each time the app starts. That's where the documentation 
suggests going down the GnomeClient route, but I'm having trouble working out how this is used.

The local system, although in my case the two are the same.
