This is a combination of a race condition (frame is not visible when geometry 
is set), and the fact that the window manager doesn't honor gravity correctly.

I reinstalled the change below.  It is in principle redundant as Gtk+ sets 
this when parsing geometry, but the window manager doesn't seem to honor it 
when the window is later shown at a different size.

Marking as done.
