I see~ Now I understand.

Yes, GTK_WINDOW_POPUP will be helpful for me.

Thank you a lot.

Hey Boram,

I looked at your test case. I don't think it's a bug, but expected behaviour.

If you create a window of type GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL, ie. 0, the window manager usually ignores attempts to move it before it is visible. So nothing happens.

You can either show the window first, and then move.

Or you use GTK_WINDOW_POPUP instead, which gives you full control over the window and the window manager will not interfere with you. That's how popup menus work for example.
