This was a great hint. I'm not sure whether this solves your problem
but after testing a bit, I noticed that getting negative window
coordinates isn't anything bad, it just means it's above or left to the
upper left corner (it's completely obvious once noticed). The problem
was more or less that we need to have the window realised (read: shown)
before we realiably can set the position on screen (at least on
Windows).
So I changed the code a bit and it seems to work now, at least I think
so. Any feedback is welcome.

Changes were made in SVN r3666.

(http://nightly.geany.org/win32/geany_win32_nightly.zip already has
the relevant changes.)

Enrico
