Well, you're fiddling with the private data structures of an object which
isn't expecting for you to move it around. Messing with an object's
internal structures may sometimes do what you want, but won't always.
The UI objects don't have support for being moved around. With enough
knowledge of the CURRENT implementation of the objects, you could probably
force it to happen. But when a future OS revision comes out, which
hypothetically changes the implementation of the objects, then your app
will have real trouble and who knows what would happen.
It would probably be better if you destroyed the old object and created a
new one at the location you want. That's the only safe way to do it. It
doesn't take very much time at all to create and destroy UI elements.
