The origin (0,0) = Top Left of Screen.
gnome-terminal --geometry "term-width" x "term-height" + "in from left"
+ "down from top"
Example 1: gnome-terminal --geometry 80x30+50+5
(Note only one dash here before geometry)
Will make a 80 char wide by 30 char heigh terminal 50 pixels in from top
left corner of screen and 5 pixels down from top left corner of screen.
xterms use one dash for the geometry ie
Example 2: xterm -geometry 80x30+50+5
For applications that are not charcater based it the "width" x "height"
+ "left" + "down" in pixels.
If you look on your Desktop Manager menus you may find an item thats
called "Window Info" or something. Its on fvwm*'s and AfterStep etc
When selected you can click on a window and it will tel you what the
geometry is - good for putting a window where you want it and then
finding out what geo to put in the script that starts it.
