Did a little searching - seems newer WMs don't always allow control of placement
for application windows. openbox has a "smartplacement" policy for the config file.

My .fvwm2rc file has placement which looks like the ~/.Xresources format, so
there is hope that any X/Windows app should support it. I've noticed that
Mozilla programs DO NOT - perhaps due to their toolkit use. I dunno.

For example:

$ xterm -geometry 72x24-0-0
  Puts an xterm in the lower right-hand corner.

xterm -geometry 72x24+0+0
   Puts and xterm in the upper left-hand corner.
