This annoyed me too a while back because I open and close a bunch
of xterms and unless I jerk the mouse first they'd all overlap.
x=$(jot -r 1 0 XMAX)
y=$(jot -r 1 0 YMAX)
xterm -geometry 80x25+${x}+${y}
as a wrapper solved it. Sure, this is only one program but the
other programs I open tend to stay open until I log out.
A knob to modify how new windows are placed could be useful,
but that's for another thread.
