As far as I tested with xprop and xwininfo, _NET_FRAME_WINDOW and/or
_NET_[REQUEST_]FRAME_EXTENTS seem to be useful for x_real_positions to
do the documented job.  (Though I could not find the former in EWMH.)

/* Store the screen positions of frame F into XPTR and YPTR.
   These are the positions of the containing window manager window,
   not Emacs's own window.  */
