- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .PP
- In general, a window should never set its own position; this should be
- done only by the geometry manger that is responsible for the window.
- For top-level windows the window manager is effectively the geometry
- manager; Tk provides interface code between the application and the
- window manager to convey the application's desires to the geometry
- manager. The desired size for a top-level window is conveyed using
- the usual \fBTk_GeometryRequest\fR mechanism. The procedure
- \fBTk_MoveToplevelWindow\fR may be used by an application to request
- a particular position for a top-level window; this procedure is
- similar in function to the \fBwm geometry\fR Tcl command except that
- negative offsets cannot be specified. It is invoked by widgets such as
- menus that want to appear at a particular place on the screen.
- .PP
- When \fBTk_MoveToplevelWindow\fR is called it doesn't immediately
- pass on the new desired location to the window manager; it defers
- this action until all other outstanding work has been completed,
- using the \fBTk_DoWhenIdle\fR mechanism.
