Ka-Hing Cheung quoted the following from gtk-doc:

I think the docs are confused here as well. They're talking about how
WMs honor hints, but gtk_window_move doesn't touch any hints, as far as
I can tell -- it actually calls XMoveWindow, or just changes the coords
that the window will initially be mapped at (which are different from
PPosition or UPosition geometries) -- at least, override-redirect
windows wouldn't work unless it did this (and they do work). I guess
I'll check the source and file a bug report with them or something.
