After some time wondering why the windows move slowly to the left side
(2 - 5 pixel per restart), I found that in addition I have to set the
gravity Static, to ignores the window manager decorations. :-)

gtk_window_set_gravity(GTK_WINDOW(fWindow), GDK_GRAVITY_STATIC);

And because we more and more move to gtkmm then

window.set_gravity(Gdk::GRAVITY_STATIC);
