As others have mentioned it is possible to start programs at startup,
but not things like positions unless the program supports it. (AFAIK).

Add something like this to your .xinitrc file:
(All on one line)
sleep 1 && Eterm --geometry 139x6+0+0 --title 'System messages'
--scrollbar=off --menubar=off --trans=on --watch-desktop --shade 10%
--borderless --exec tail -f /var/log/httpd/access.log &
(The title thing is just so that it look nice in Blackboxs Workspace
menu)
