33 In general, a window should never set its own position; this should be
34 done only by the geometry manger that is responsible for the window.
35 For top-level windows the window manager is effectively the geometry
36 manager; Tk provides interface code between the application and the
37 window manager to convey the application's desires to the geometry man‐
38 ager. The desired size for a top-level window is conveyed using the
39 usual Tk_GeometryRequest mechanism. The procedure Tk_MoveToplevelWin‐
40 dow may be used by an application to request a particular position for
41 a top-level window; this procedure is similar in function to the wm
42 geometry Tcl command except that negative offsets cannot be specified.
43 It is invoked by widgets such as menus that want to appear at a partic‐
44 ular place on the screen.
45 When Tk_MoveToplevelWindow is called it does not immediately pass on
47 the new desired location to the window manager; it defers this action
48 until all other outstanding work has been completed, using the
49 Tk_DoWhenIdle mechanism.
