Position of windows on Gnome desktop

[Rodolfo Medina <rodolfo.medina@gmail.com>]

Hi.

When starting an application, like terminal or xdvi, I wish to control the
position of the window on the screen: e.g., I wish that the terminal window was
up right and the xdvi window up left.

How can I do that?

Thanks for any reply
