Re: changing hidden window position

[Mihai Bazon <mishoo infoiasi ro>]

Works, but only if I first call gtk_widget_show(win), and that's what I'm
trying to avoid...  So, is there any way to set a widget's position
*before* showing it? (so that when I call gtk_widget_show to be sure that
it appears directly where I want).

Thanks,
Mishoo
