	Its the X Window System, no plural (too confusing with that Other Operating
System).

	Most X progs, support a command-line option of '-geometry NNNxNNN+N+N' to
control where a program shows up on the screen.  This is in the X man page,
IIRC.  There is another option called '-iconic', that if supported will
cause a prog to start up as an icon instead of full screen.  The program has
to support these options.  Again, see 'man X'.
