[..] It seems like 'qjackctl' studiously ignores the
-geomtry switch. [...]
Is there any way to work around this stuff? Are the window coordinates
hardcoded in 'qjackctl'?
No and no. Qjackctl just overrides any X hints that maybe given from the
command line. Qjackctl remembers and restores it's last visible screen
position and extents. This feature only applies to qjackctl main and child
windows. It does not apply to any application it launches from the startup
scripts.
Cheers.
