Why limit yourself to geometry settings? The safest would probably be
a X protocol proxy hack, something like this:
xproxy <X options> -e <program> <program arguments>
It's purpose would be to open two sockets, one accepting connections
from the called program (indicated by a changed $DISPLAY) and one to
the X server, to inject appropriate ctwm.* resources in that stream,
then just pass bytes between the called program and the X server.
This is more or less what SSH does already (except the injection, I
think), so there's an example to go from.
Cheers,
Richard
