That's correct.  But I think I see the location of the problem now,
assuming I am understanding static gravity: the gdk_window_gravity_works
function is calling gdk_window_move (). That wouldn't be a problem except
for the fact that gdk_window_move () performs it's work by calling
gdk_window_move_resize () and that function was making a call to
XMoveResizeWindow ().  So calling gdk_window_move () is causing behavior
contrary to what one would expect from a XMoveWindow call.
