Get out of X, and log on in non-gui mode ('console' mode)
At the prompt, type
X &
which will start up a raw X window
Toggle back to the non-gui commandline and at the prompt, type
xterm -display :0 -geometry 80x24+0+0 &
which will start an 80x24 xterm at position (0,0) on the screen
Now, at the commandline prompt, type
xeyes -display :0 -geometry 30x30+100+200 &
which will start a 30x30 xeyes program at position (100,200) on the screen
That's the sort of thing that you have to do, but in a script.
Locate where your startx scripts are held, and write a script that
explicitly sets everything up using the -geometry options.
'man X' will give you some guidance here

1. Run C shell with "rlogin" and/or "xterm" commands
I'm attempting to create a shell script that performs a rlogin and continues
the rest of the script on the other terminal. I'd also like to create a
script that opens an xterm and runs the rest of the script from there on the
same terminal. Any suggestions or is this even possible.
Thanks!!!
