Actually, what he may want is to save the gdk_window_get_position, and
then be able to move the window to a set position regardless of the
window manager's decoration size.  That way, changing the window
manager or its decoration characteristics would not change the
position of the actual window content.  I can see both requirements.
Are both effects possible?
