 I'm looking for a CLI utility that would let me manipulate (resize and
 relocate) windows based on WM_NAME or WM_CLASS.  Is anyone aware of any
 such thing?
 
 I need to open a window and position it - but the app does not fully
 support the -geometry option.  It only allows me to set the size and not
 the location (in other words, it ignores the +X+Y portion of the HxW+X+Y
 string.)
 
 Thanks,
