xterm -geometry not positionning as expected

Hi,
here's something that works as expected:
xterm -geometry 80x25+10+10
the xterm window appears shifted 10 pixel right and
10 pixel down compared to the top-left of the screen.
Now, if I want to specify a negative shift, it works fine
under some window manager, like twm :
xterm -geometry 80x25+-10+-10
(notice the '+-')
This is exactly the behavior I need: for some application
I want the window to be shifted both left and up.
But negative shift for the geometry fails under Gnome
(and KDE, but I never use KDE).
And I'd like to use Gnome.
"x shift" works, but "y shift" refuse to go "after the top
of the screen".
Is there an option in Gnome so a window can be moved
further than the top of the screen (just like it can go left,
right, and down?) ?
It's really strange, and this is something I already noticed
before : windows seems to be "magnetized" to the top of
the screen under Gnome and refuse to go "upper" than
that.
Any ideas about how I could change this?
