position from --geometry param not respected when combined with hidden param

[Lars Kreisz]

When i start terminator with the -H switch this way:

terminator -H --geometry 1280x720+320+24

the height and width are set correctly, but the position is at (0, 24) (directly under the main panel).

Taking away the hidden switch:

terminator --geometry 1280x720+320+24

anything is fine.

I tried this with the terminator version that comes from UBuntu 12.04 packages (0.96) under Unity (pretty fresh system).

Lars, I have a fix that works for me. Any chance you could check it? I causes a quick ugly flash of the window on start, but after that it all works fine. I don't think the flash can be gotten rid of, as even getting the position and storing in a temporary variable causes the flash.

Ugh! Ugly formatting! The added line should be at the same indentation as the self.hide() statement.
