DESCRIPTION
       In  general,  a  window should never set its own position;
       this should be done only by the geometry  manger  that  is
       responsible  for  the  window.   For top-level windows the
       window manager is effectively the  geometry  manager;   Tk
       provides  interface  code  between the application and the
       window manager to convey the application's desires to  the
       geometry manager.  The desired size for a top-level window
       is conveyed using the usual Tk_GeometryRequest  mechanism.
       The  procedure  Tk_MoveToplevelWindow  may  be  used by an
       application to request a particular position  for  a  top-
       level  window;   this  procedure is similar in function to
       the wm geometry Tcl command except that  negative  offsets
       cannot  be  specified.   It  is invoked by widgets such as
       menus that want to appear at a  particular  place  on  the
       screen.

       When  Tk_MoveToplevelWindow  is  called it doesn't immedi-
       ately pass on the new desired location to the window  man-
       ager;   it  defers this action until all other outstanding
       work  has  been   completed,   using   the   Tk_DoWhenIdle

       mechanism.
