AFAIK, those X/Y coordinates affect the offset of the contents of the 
window, not the placement of the window itself.  Myth does not have any 
built-in capability to affect the placement of its window if you're not 
running full-screen.

However, I think I am familiar with the problem you are trying to 
describe.  Whenever I run Myth in a window on my workstation (my main 
frontend runs full-screen on my TV, but I sometimes test on my 
desktop), the window initially comes up in a reasonable location, but 
then Myth seems to always want to warp the window to (0,0) (top/left).  
It does this in such a way that the window contents start at (0,0) and 
the title bar is off the top of the screen.  It's annoying, but I've 
never really looked into it since I rarely run Myth on my desktop.
