Well, have you looked at the API reference at
http://gtkmm.org/documentation.shtml?  Because if you look at the
Gtk::Window::set_position() function [1], you can click on the
WindowPosition type which will give you a list of its possible
enumeration values.  The values are not shown with a Gtk:: prefix, but
everything in gtkmm is in the Gtk namespace (and likewise all of the
GDK stuff is in a Gdk namespace and all of the pango stuff is in a
Pango namespace, etc.).  Does that help at all?
