Re: Problem gtk with gnome.

[Matias Szeinfeld <matinger gmail com>]

Environment: libgnome 2.32.1-2ubuntu1
The problem is in Gnome 2.x and Unity.

In the gtk documentation:
gtk_window_move()
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.
