Well, my copy of gimp places itself at 10,10.

I traced this to gimp/app/resource.h line 166:

  "Gimp.geometry: +10+10",

I'm not sure what a PPosition field is, but I don't think the gimp
uses it.

I believe I achieved the desired behavior by loading this xresource
thru xrdb:

Gimp.geometry: 273x175

(273x175 was the size the gimp was trying to become, I left out the
position.)
