I disagree that it's a tough call. If an app requests to be drawn at a 
particular position, then the only valid action on the part of the WM is 
to do just that. Consider an app that starts off-screen and scrolls 
onscreen. Maybe this is a tacky example, but it's perfectly valid. No, 
actually, here's a not-so-tacky example - an OS-X like starter bar :)
