I have no idea what that means. However, you can always force things
to open where you want them to assuming they obey X resource settings.
Most X apps accept a "-geometry XxY+-N+-N" switch. To find out the
position of an X app, run "xwininfo" and click in the app's window.
If you always want all instances of that app to open up there,
hardcode it in .Xresources:
Emacs.geometry: 104x46-92+36
If you leave off the position parameters (ie., -92+36), it will just
open up at that size (104x46).
