I think it is a good idea that the bottom left corner doesn't move.
Imagine the geometry was +0-0 and that the window would grow.  Then
fixing the top left corner means that the bottom of the window is not
visible anymore.  But fixing the bottom left corner means that the
bottom of the window is still visible.  Also imagine that the window
shrinks, then presumably you still want the bottom left corner to be
in the corner of the screen.

I remember some discussion on supporting window gravity for Sawfish
(maybe it was still called Sawmill at that time).  Maybe Sawfish is
the only window manager to do it right :-)

I'm not sure if there is a way to position the Emacs window at 55
pixels from the bottom of the screen but still assign it north-west
gravity.  Anyone?
