-geometry
argument to apps, eg. xclock -geometry 400x400+10+10
you can ommit the
size bit (400x400) if you just want to set position. Giveing -'s for the
position make it relative to the right/bottom edge.
Not all newer apps accept that argument though.
Hmm, shouldn't these apps be considered broken then? the -geometry switch is an xlib
thing and handled transparently if the app passes the commandline to xlib.. i suppose some
toolkits might do their own commandline processing and then forget to pass stuff on to
xlib..
maybe i talk nonsense though.
