I won't respond to the totality of your message, because I haven't
tried your change (thanks for that, btw), but I will forward you this
email message that I found on the web:

You can use, for example:

gdk_window_get_origin (window->window, &x, &y);
gdk_window_get_size (window->window, &w, &h);

and then:

gdk_window_move_resize (window->window, x, y, w, h);
gdk_window_move (window->window, x, y);
gdk_window_resize (window->window, w, h);
