Default Bathtub placement ?

In our house we are almost to the plumbing stage. My question is this:
The bathroom is long and narrow: 6 foot by 11 foot. The door is on one
of the long sides close to the end, and there's a window diagonally
across the rectangle on the other long side. There's really only one
place to put the bathtub, and that's at the end closest to the window.
So the bathtub will likely be right at the back. The only problem is
that the ceiling slopes over that part of the bathroom. At about 4 feet
from the floor, the ceiling slopes in, and if I put the tub far enough
from the back so that it's not affected by the ceiling (it's a
clawfoot), then it would be interfered with by the window. I'm putting
a showerhead in.

Any (serious) thoughts about this?

Non-negotiable: The placement of the window and door, and at this
point, the size and shape of the room.
Negotiable: The placement of the fixtures. (The joists run across the
short way)
