Summary: Fix for dialogs drifting downwards on Cygwin/X

Initial Comment:
On Cygwin/X, reopening a gschem dialog restores its original position, but with a small vertical offset.

The workaround is to show the dialog before restoring its position.

The docs for gtk_window_move() offer a possible justification:

  "Most window managers ignore requests for initial
  window positions (instead using a user-defined
  placement algorithm) and honor requests after the
  window has already been shown."

The downside is, if you have a slow system, you could see the dialog appear briefly at the old position, I suppose.
