OK, I've tried some things.

- gdk_window_get_position() is what I used originally. It exhibits the
symptoms I described in my initial post (i.e. it returns strange
values after maximize/unmaximize combo). 

- gdk_window_get_geometry() does not work, it returns very strange 
values and is basically useless.

- gdk_window_get_root_origin() and gdk_window_get_origin() seem to
work though. Is there any difference between these functions?

BTW, I tried this with both 0.38 and 1.0.1 versions of sawfish.

Thanks,
Pascal.
