zwgc sets the relevant wm hint (transient, I think) to avoid
decorations like title bars. So your windowmanager is being obtuse.
At any rate, there's no way for zwgc to take those things into
account. zwgc just calls XCreateWindow(); it has no magic knowledge
that the window manager is going to reparent its window and move it
over by so many pixels.
