Hi!
Maybe you could achieve your goal using the wmctrl(1) command?
Here is the example for xeyes application:
xeyes && wmctrl -a xeyes -e '0,80,80,80,80'
It would start the xeyes somewhere on the screen and then change it's
geometry to the specified values.
wmctrl should work with EWMH/NetWM capable windowmanagers which includes
Windowmaker.
