I used gtk_window_get_position() to retrieve the coordinates, and to set, I used
gtk_window_set_default_size() & gtk_window_move()

save:
        gtk_window_get_position(GTK_WINDOW(conversation->window),
                                &notebook_window_x, &notebook_window_y );
        /* get current sizes */
        notebook_window_width  = conversation->window->allocation.width;
        notebook_window_height = conversation->window->allocation.height;

(relavant variables: notebook_window_x, notebook_window_y,
notebook_window_width, notebook_window_height)

Restore:

        gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW(gy_notebook->window),
                notebook_window_width, notebook_window_height);
        gtk_window_move(GTK_WINDOW(gy_notebook->window),
                notebook_window_x, notebook_window_y);
