You don't.  Also, if the application saves the window position when you
quit, it could be permanent...  Better to be careful with the Shrinker.

By the way, I have discovered that you can paste any WDEF into WindChooser,
select it from the cdev, and it will come up as the default.  This makes
WindChooser a useful tool for testing WDEFs if you are developing the 
things.  Better set the system heap bit in the resource first, however,
or you can get interesting system errors.
