I agree. That's why i posted in the first place.

Actually i tried with NorthWest gravity and upper left coordinates. And on 
most window managers the position and size is respected, just on kwin i found 
that the height of the frame when first mapped is not what i put into the size 
hints but has the decoration height added.

Why do you suggest one would only get exact positioning with SouthEast gravity 
?
