I'm running KDE 3.4.3 and got the following results $ konsole -geometry -0+0 (window placed in upper right) $ konsole -geometry +0+0 (window placed in upper left) $ konsole -geometry +0-0 (window placed in upper left) **not correct** $ konsole -geometry -0-0 (window placed in lower right) However all of the following worked correctly: (666x402 corresonds to an 80x24 konsole with my default font) $ konsole -geometry 666x402-0+0 (upper right) $ konsole -geometry 666x402+0+0 (upper left) $ konsole -geometry 666x402+0-0 (lower left) $ konsole -geometry 666x402-0-0 (lower right) With the exception of +0-0, I was able to get consistent results. This probably doesn't help you significantly, but it does indicate that there is some bugginess with -geometry and konsole and that it isn't just your system.
