At the point you're setting the frame, the window isn't visible. -runModal
shows the window if necessary and positions it on screen, overriding the frame
you set. If you force it to be visible before -runModal is called, the frame
position you set is not changed. This works:
NSAlert* alert = [NSAlert alertWithMessageText:@"hello"
defaultButton:@"ok" alternateButton:@"cancel" otherButton:nil
informativeTextWithFormat:@"bing bang wallah wallah bang"];
[alert.window setFrameOrigin:NSMakePoint( 10, 100)];
[alert.window makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
NSInteger result = [alert runModal];
NSLog(@"response = %ld", result);

Your requirement isn't clear - do you want a sheet to appear as if unattached
to a host window, just floating in space? Even if you can achieve it, users
will simply assume your app is buggy. Ideas like this are never seen in the
wild for good reason.
