Thanks for your suggestions. It's not *exactly* what I wanted, but I've
made up a compromise that works well enough. What I've put below
ensures I'll have a reasonably positioned and sized window whatever
resolution I'm working at.

  <mouse>
    <context name="Titlebar">
      <mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
        <action name="MoveResizeTo">
          <width>800</width>
          <height>600</height>
          <x>center</x>
          <y>center</y>
        </action>
      </mousebind>
