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

[Olivier Fourdan]

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.
