This is a common requirement!  :-)

In the 'old days' of TWM, FVWM and so on it was always very simple, part
of the "raison d'etre" of a window manager was to have a mechanism which
allowed on to start application windows in specific places on specific
desktops when X booted.

It seems that 'modern' window managers (or desktop environment) seem to
have forgotten about this requirement (of some users, me included). 
It's about the only reason I keep on considering leaving xubuntu/xfce.
