be that as it may, i just tried 

  ...
  $window->show_all;
  $window->window->move ( 252, 35 );
  ...
  Gtk->main;

and it worked.

it may be that your window is really complicated, and it takes a long
time between the show and move so that there is flicker, so you could
try

  $window->realize;
  $window->window->move (...);
  ...
  $window->show;

(which didn't work for me, even though it sounds like it should)


as for the gtk2 perl bindings, those are underway, check
