Which would be fine, except that it is the resize that actually fails,  
not the move (as evidenced by the move() and resize() test case).  
Using the geometry() methods just adds the convenience of having the  
window open exactly where the user expects, because it is right where  
they left it. In both cases, however, the resize fails - so your  
method won't work any better. This becomes especially problematic when  
you have code to save the window size on close, and restore it on  
open, as the size on open actually ends up slightly smaller than what  
you had saved. So repeated open/close cycles see the window getting  
progressively smaller, until it hits the minimum possible size. Not  
good.
