PPosition is a window manager hint, "program-specified window position".  The
intent is that the program records its last window position while it's
running, and requests that the window position be restored on startup by
setting the PPosition hint.

Unfortunately, many (broken?) programs unconditionally set the PPosition hint
to (0,0).
