[plug] Window position

[Mike Holland]

Hi Oliver,
what you need to know about here is "X11 resources", and in particular
the 'geometry' resource.
  To see yout X-servers current resource database, type "xrdb -query".
The database is loaded on X startup, so depending on your scripts,
it might read .Xdefaults or .Xresources .

To make the default start point top-left, add an entry like:

	*.geometry +0+0

To start emacs in the top right, size 80x30 characters:

	Emacs.geometry: 80x30-0+0

To reload, "xrdb .Xdefaults" or whatever the filename is.

Is this helpful, or am I raving on with the bleedin' obvious & missing the
point?
  This is assuming  Window Maker isnt doing anything nasty and over-riding
the default X behaviour.
