I wouldn't expect gtk_widget_set_uposition() to do the funky X
geometry stuff. In fact, since it takes integers, it _couldn't_
distinguish -0. 

However, that if you set a position of -1 for
gtk_widget_set_uposition(), it will unset the position entirely is a
misfeature of the API.

That there isn't a way of setting the gravity hint on a GTK window is
a missing feature. You need this to properly do the X style -0 stuff.
