I assume that it does not receive the handle at all, which is why it is
creating its own window.
The point is, the window that is created cannot be moved from the centre of the
screen, I could live with it, if the window could be moved.
The other point, is that the exact same code works perfectly on Linux Mate and
on the Raspberry if it is running Ubuntu-Mate. The issue only arises when
running Raspbian Jessie.
Re-coding simply to avoid a bug does not seem like a solution, assuming that it
is a bug of course.
