You can ask the same with gtk_window_set_position(), but note that
window managers are free to ignore the hint (and mutter will if
configured with workarounds disabled).
In general though it is a bad idea to position all windows in the
center, because windows will be stacked one over the other instead of
trying to be tiled and covering the whole screen.
