If the window opens from your menu, you may want to try using the
-geometry argument.
My X manual says that most X programs have this -geometry argument for
specifying a preferred location and size. (You can use "-" sign instead of
"+" to start from right or bottom.)
Examples:
xterm -geometry +1+475 &
xcalc -geometry +25+25 &
xclock -geometry -1+1 &
You can also do this with programs that use .Xresources or other resource
data.
