+       * gdk/gdkwindow.c (gdk_window_get_root_origin): new function to get
+       the *real* geometry position of a window, taken possible window
+       manager offsets into account.
+       this has been succesfully tested with fvwm, fvwm-2, bowman, olwm,
+       olvwm, twm, ctwm, mlvwm, windowmaker and enlightenment.
+       it does fail though for amiwm which adds windows to a pseudo root
+       window, and for icewm by a small offset because it defines the
+       geometry position whithin its border.
+
+       * gtk/testgtk.c: added "saved position" test to figure how
+       gdk_window_get_root_origin() interacts with window managers (repopup
+       this window to figure ;).
