       int x (in)                    New  x-coordinate for the top-left pixel of tkwin's border, or the top-left
                                     pixel of the decorative border supplied for tkwin by the window manager, if

DESCRIPTION

       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  Tk_GeometryRequest  mechanism.   The  procedure  Tk_MoveToplevelWindow  may  be  used  by  an
       application to request a particular position for a  top-level  window;   this  procedure  is  similar  in
       function  to the wm geometry 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.

       When Tk_MoveToplevelWindow is called it does not 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
       Tcl_DoWhenIdle mechanism.
