Sorry that was a typo. Here's the actuall code pasted in this time:
   gdk_window_get_position((GdkWindow *)window, &xp, &yp);
   gtk_widget_set_uposition(child_window, xp + 300, yp + 300);

Here's what gdb says:
Breakpoint 1, add_state (callback_data=0x0, callback_action=0, 
    widget=0x80bc0b8) at state.c:307
307             gtk_widget_set_uposition(child_window, xp + 300, yp + 300);
(gdb) print xp
$1 = 16
(gdb) print yp
$2 = 0
(gdb) 

The identify fvwm module says it's at:
x (current page): 59
y (current page): 46
