[Linux] in 0.7.x it's not possible to move windows beyond bounds of visible screen space.

Tested on Linux Mint Cinnamon (Debian) x86 and x64.
See #1043 for code to reproduce. This is the same issue as #1043, just on linux instead of OSX.

This didn't actually work in 0.6.3 either (inconsistent with other platforms), which makes this a feature request. I don't know if it's even possible to do this on linux.

I can confirm it on Linux debian nw 0.6.3-0.7.5 with the code provided

This happens on Mac & Windows too. See #2391

It's still an issue, but i guess everybody has found workarounds by now.

@miklschmidt , the result on my Linux with nwjs-sdk-v0.25.4:

nw.Window.open('1.html', {
  frame: false,
  width: 400,
  height: 0,
  always_on_top: true,
  show: false,
  resizable: false
},function(newWindow){

newWindow.on('loaded', function() {
  var x;
  newWindow.show();
  x = newWindow.window.screen.availLeft + newWindow.window.screen.availWidth;
  console.log('x: ' + x);
  console.log('availWidth: ' + newWindow.window.screen.availWidth);
  newWindow.moveTo(x, 0);
  newWindow.resizeTo(400,200);
});

If comment out moveTo(), the result is:
//newWindow.moveTo(x, 0);
