I found some code here http://www.gusnet.cx/proj/miscunix/code/xquerypointer.c and modified it to return the coordinates in "+x+y" format. It actually works really well with the windows I like to use - xterms, aterms, etc. I think you are generally right, many GUI applications don't like -geometry so much, but I wasn't really concerned about those - I use terminals 95% of the time.
The next step is, of course, to look at modifying the fluxbox code and getting interactive window placement done from inside there. A project for another time :) Cheers, Dave.
