Oh yes you can. You just have to force the apps to come up and force their
placement like the following .xinitrc - what do you think the -geometry
option is for?
#! /bin/sh
#
# Switch off the screen blanker (ick, I hate it when it blanks the screen!)
xset s off
# Stop fuckers from crashing my X server
xhost -
# Display logs
xterm -fn lucidasanstypewriter-12 -bg black -fg white -geometry
132x43+300+394 -e tail -f /var/log/messages &
# Start up the xterm session
xterm -fn lucidasanstypewriter-12 -bg black -fg white -geometry 132x43+0+0
&
# Start up xosview
xosview -geometry 200x348+0+650 &
# Start up BlackBox
exec blackbox
