Description
Environment
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.65]
Release: 20.04
Steps to reproduce
Calls to gtk_window_get_position(GTK_WINDOW(_window), x, y); always return 0, 0 in WSLg, but return proper values on a Linux machine. I'm not sure if this is by design, not working properly or if there is a different method for retrieving this info in WSLg.
Expected behavior
I would expect x and y coordinates appropriate for the display to be returned.
Actual behavior
Always return 0, 0.

Research direction
Start by reproducing gtk_window_get_position(GTK_WINDOW(_window), x, y) in WSLg's X11 mode and compare the result with a Linux machine, using the reported environment and steps. Investigate whether returning (0, 0) is expected or a WSLg defect; done means the behavior is explained and coordinates appropriate for the display are returned or documented.
