Thanks. Apparently GNOME draws a virtual 10 pixels wide border around
each frame which is not visible but affects the value of frame
position. Concludingly, we have two problems:
(1) GNOME by no means allows to programmatically position a window
within the screen estates used by the "dock" and the "top bar". I
suppose that when you manually drag such a window with the mouse,
it may move into these estates but will be hidden by the dock and
the top bar. As a last resort: Does it help when you set the
frame's z-group parameter to 'above' like in
(modify-frame-parameters nil '((z-group . above) (left . 0) (top . 0)))
(2) Frame positions are reported off by 10 and 8 pixels. While the
value of 10 can be explained with the reported border width, the
value 8 is yet unexplained.
I think (1) can and should be documented in the Elisp manual. (2)
might be a bug in Emacs but I don't know how to fix it.
