Is there any way to set the position of a gui window? Not the position  
of  
elements inside the winow, but that actual window itself. For my need I  
am  
running multiple flow graphs with TCP sources, so nothing pops up until  
a  
TCP connection is established. I’d like the windows to pop up where I  
want  
them

No, not directly. You’ll have to look into the GUI backend you’re using  
(wx  
or qt) and see how you can use their calls to do this.
