Summary: tk::PlaceWindow incorrect for dual-head Windows.

Initial Comment:
The ::tk::PlaceWindow library function doesn't
understand the geometry reported by Windows for a
multiple monitor setup. In this situation, the geometry
for a window position may be negative.

This has been fixed for BWidgets so it just needs a
similar fox applying here.

This seems to do the trick. For win32 with multiple desktops
we cannot know in Tk the layout. This means we cannot check
if a given placement will fall off the edge of the screen.

See Tk bug 533519 for more about this issue.
