The direct problem I was having seems to be not caused after all by window positioning, but by Gnome 3 apparently detecting a non-existent secondary display. I am working on that now, and posted another email on that topic. Very strange though, that only the window(s) for gnome-disk-utility seem to be affected. Also, sorry for neglecting to say that I was using Gnome 3 Desktop Environment on Arch 64-bit. (Composing email on Gmail's asinine built-in editor gives me fits - the editor jumps around at unpredictable intervals, adding and deleting bits of text in random spots).
