I did that because (start quoting from gtk-doc):

void gtk_window_move (GtkWindow *window, gint x, gint y);
Asks the window manager to move window to the given position. Window
managers are free to ignore this; most window managers ignore requests
for initial window positions (instead using a user-defined placement
algorithm) and honor requests after the window has already been shown.

So it is possible for Window managers to ignore the gtk_window_move call
if the window is not actually shown. But well, none of the wm seem to do
this, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
