Is it possible to offset the window position by a value when WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"?

Question

The requirement used to be that the window is CenterScreen but the client has recently asked that the window is now slightly to the right of its current position.

The current definition of the window is:

I was hoping that doing the following would work:

    public MyWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // change the position after the component is initialized
        this.Left = this.Left + this.Width;
    }

But the window is still in the same position when it appears on screen.

Do I need to change the startup location to Manual and position it myself? If so, how do I get it offset from the center?

Handle Loaded event, and put this.Left = this.Left + this.Width; there:

public MyWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MyWindow_Loaded);
    }


 void MyWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.Left = this.Left + this.Width;
        }
