Any of the return location arguments to this function may be NULL,
if you aren’t interested in getting the value of that field.
The X and Y coordinates returned are relative to the parent window
of window, which for toplevels usually means relative to the
window decorations (titlebar, etc.) rather than relative to the
root window (screen-size background window).
On the X11 platform, the geometry is obtained from the X server,
so reflects the latest position of window; this may be out-of-sync
with the position of window delivered in the most-recently-processed
GdkEventConfigureWindow.getPosition in contrast gets the
position from the most recent configure event.
Note: If window is not a toplevel, it is much better
to call Window.getPosition, Window.getWidth and
Window.getHeight instead, because it avoids the roundtrip to
the X server and because these functions support the full 32-bit
coordinate space, whereas Window.getGeometry is restricted to
the 16-bit coordinates of X11.
