Bug Description

xdotool cannot longer move windows to top left corner.

To reproduce:

- Alt+F2, then type "gnome-terminal", enter
- in the terminal, type

  xdotool search --onlyvisible --classname Terminal windowmove %@ 0 0

The terminal is moved, but not fully to top corner. To verify, type again

  xdotool search --onlyvisible --classname Terminal getwindowgeometry

This command reports something like (??? represents irrelevant numbers)
  Window ???
    Position: 10,62 (screen: 0)
    Geometry: ???x???

When it should be "Position: 0,52 (screen: 0)" if the window was exactly at top left corner.

This occurs since upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr on 2 different pc's.
xdotool was working fine in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin.
