But when a window first starts, it does so in beneath Gkrellm, which I have in the same location from session to session. I'd like to have windows start somewhere around 70 pixels in from the left side.

the workspace margins should take care of this.  if not, the app itself 
is explicitly requesting a position on the left side of the screen, 
which there isn't much you can do about (aside from complain to the app 
authors).
