This would certainly be alot nicer than what I do now, which is
calculate the screenwidth and height with xdpyinfo and specify
geometry with appropriate multiples of those values. However for
those who want to do it, an example would be
xterm -geometry +0+`expr $SCREENHEIGHT`
which puts the xterm on the page one below where I'm currently at
(because geometry is always relative to the current page). I don't
use it enough to generalize it into a shell script, though that would
be pretty easy, but I do use it in my .X11Startup file for those
things I always start. Of course it does mean I can't move out of the
first page until everything has mapped when I log in.
