You will see that I initially suggested precisely that in this
message:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2006-06/msg00287.html

but I think the solution found by Ralf is better, as it makes Emacs
behave on Windows like it does on other windowing systems: let the
window manager position the window, unless told otherwise.
