It's possible that simply unsetting the uposition will work. To unset
the uposition try setting it to -1, -1 (although either this or
set_usize() was broken for -1, -1, I don't remember). The window
manager may then remember the old position.

If that fails, you can get the current position with
gdk_window_get_origin() (or gdk_window_get_deskrelative_origin() or
gdk_window_get_root_origin(), I can honestly never remember which one
is correct), Note that these functions operate on widget->window
(GdkWindow) not on the GtkWindow.

Then you can reset the uposition based on that.
