In the current implementation, by the time hints are set we don't know whether
the placement is program-specified or via customization (command-line, Xdefaults,
app-defaults).  Setting USPosition is correct for the latter case (customization);
the former shouldn't happen for top-level windows (at least, I can't see a reason
why an application would do that).  Transients are the one place where USPosition
is technically wrong, but it seems like you would want window managers to put
transients where the program wants anyway.
