I always assumed placing the top level window on X11 is window
manager business. So the rather annoying behaviour of placing
the windows title bar outside of the screen would mostly only
visible on win32.
My workaround in gdk/win32 was the SafeAdjustWindowRect function,
which now that negative coordinates should become valid probably
won't work anymore
