GetScreenPosition and iconize

[Jorgen Bodde]

I would still vote for uniform functionality. And I am in favor of
returning the restored size. Reason is when you save your settings and
you want to save the size of the window for restoring it later, you
get weird -32000 or -1 or whatever. Storing that as your size in your
settings, will screw up your app the next time you run it. So you have
to do smart stuff to prevent saving the size when the app is
minimized, which has the nasty stide effect again that the last used
position cannot be saved! So everytime my app restores after iconized
state, it always comes back to the last known valid position.

This is why always giving back the actual size, iconized or not, is better.
