Actually they all call the same routine as far as porting goes. It is
just that when you do something like

Left := 100;

it calls the appropriate gtk routines to adjust the component which then
fires a resize event. If you have to set all 4 coordinates it does the
whole process 4 times, somewhat wasteful. By using SetBounds it sets all
the coordinates with just the one gtk call and resize event. Just
somewhat more effecient.
