No, I don't think using x_get_arg is wrong, because we still want to
determine whether to use CW_USEDEFAULT.

We cannot do this unless f->size_hint_flags are set so as to tell
w32_createwindow to use f->top_pos and/or f->left_pos.  Otherwise, we
should put CW_USEDEFAULT in coords[].  IOW, how about the below?
