Empathy has some code (from the good old Gossip time iirc) doing exactly
that:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/empathy/tree/libempathy-gtk/empathy-geometry.h
http://git.gnome.org/browse/empathy/tree/libempathy-gtk/empathy-geometry.c


This logic could probably be implemented in GTK+ and then we could have
a GNOME goal to make use of it where it's relevant.
