I don't see a quick fix to implement a mechanism to signal  
gnuplot_drawnow that the figure position property has been changed.

A listener could be added to handle this, but without more thought I  
don't see how to do this without breaking other backends.

The attached changeset reverts the ability to reposition figure windows.

Ok, to push?
