When using gnuplot to produce figures, it is only possible to set the figure 
size when the figure is created.

The link you copied ...

        http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Figure-Position-td1636211.html

... includes an explanation that applies to your version of Octave (3.2.x)

For Cygwin you can install Octave-3.4.2 and try the OpenGL backend (untested 
example below)

        close all
        graphics_toolkit fltk
        plot (rand (2))
        position = get (gcf, "position");
        set (gcf, "position", position + [-100 -100 +200 +200])
