Well, I don't know if it's been done before, but I use Fluxbox and as it
stands, it has no ability to place new windows 'interactively' (i.e.
choose to open an xterm, click where you want it to be positioned). I
know it's simple, but if I had a wrapper for XQueryPointer() then I could
use the same technique for any window manager with any window that
supports the -geometry option, by having the menu or keybinding run a
script that gets the current mouse coordinates.

Simple really eh? :)
