Can you do that to other applications' windows? Can you post a small 
example showing the problem?

In general, it's not a good idea to move top-level windows because you 
don't know whatever else is being displayed. Especially in the case of 
multiple displays (I've seen applications that jump to the wrong display 
when opening). Leaving the positioning up to the window manager is the 
recommended way.
