Well, I realize that the gdk_window_get_position() only work after you
call gtk_main().

The result of the gdk_window_get_position() function is the position of
the client space, without the Window Manager decoration.

Is there a function to get the position of the window with the Window
Manager decoration?

I have problem when trying to save the window position when my app
exits.
The solution I found is put the window at (0,0) with
gtk_widget_set_uposition().
Then, when the WM decoration apears it move the window a litle to the
SouthEast.
The I call gdk_window_get_position() and I recive (5, 25) not (0, 0).
That give me the dimension of the WM decoration and save it in an rc.
The next time I want to put a window at position (x, y) I use:
gtk_widget_set_uposition(x-5, y-25);

I hope this help someone.
Oliver
