Stuff is kept in roughly the same quadrant of the screen, near as I can tell, and perhaps the offset within the quadrant is adjusted by some factor, but it seems to be repeatable (that is, windows don't crawl with repeated changes).
I believe the top-left corner is kept in the same relative position to the top-left corner of the screen, unless that would leave part of the window off-screen. If it would, then the top-left corner is moved to get the window fully on-screen, unless the window is too large to fit entirely on screen. In that case, the top-left corner is moved to a few pixels in from the top-left corner of the screen (excluding the menu bar). I don't recall if the window is resized to fit on the screen or just left with its bottom and/or right side off the screen.

I could swear I've seen a rough description of this somewhere, but I'm not finding it now.
