In some of the windows managers you can determine a default location for
a program icon if you launch the program iconified and use the correct x
syntax in the commandline for the program in your programs menu. On some
systems it is a variant of the "-geometry" syntax.
example: $ xterm -iconic -geometry 80x24+30+200+200+400
In this case the window will be 80 chars wide by 24 chars high
and positioned 30 pixels from the left and 200 pixels from the top.
The icon will be placed 200 pixels from the left and 400 pixels from the
top.
Man X, xrm, xset, mwm
and look do a search through your answerbook pages for the same entries
if you have access to answerbook.
I don't have access to a current sun system otherwise I would look it up
for you.
