Summary: gravity winoption

Initial Comment:
This is a preliminary patch to provide a new winoption for setting the gravity. It's barely tested and I'm actually unsude if its work. So I'm looking for comments on this. Thanks.

I have learned a little more: the window position is not effected by the
gravity only resize requests.

You can test this with a tool from the metacity package:

I have not invented 'gravity'. Its long in X. If I understand it right (and
I hope so) the normal gravity is NorthWest, i.e. top left corner. A new
window will be placed there. Resize and Move requests will be made, so that
the top/left corner of the window will stay at this position. If its
NorthEast the top/right corner would stay at the same position.

I would like to have this, because my editor is in the top/right corner.
and sometimes if I open a file with thousends of lines, the editor widens
the window, so that all line numbers fit. With the correct gravity the
window would move slightly to the left also, so that nothing is hidden on
the right side.

Hello,

would you care to explain what Gravity actually is? Maybe using wording
suitable for documentation?
