How do you specify a staring point on the screen for new windows?

Peter,
And if you use the "geometry" option that most X app provide, something
like
my_app -geometry wxh+x+y
then you *are* requesting a position, so the margins don't count.
Cheers,
Olivier.

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.
