Ugh. I don't think we should expose the scale values, we should fix
whatever the issue is with set-frame-position. Naively that's the
attached patch, but I worry about other places that assume unscaled
coordinates. I'll run with it for a while and see if any pop up.

Longer term we need to implement your 'eliminate direct X calls' plan,
and have everything inside Emacs use GTK coordinates.
