+.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.
