Do you use the Exit Session in WindowMaker ? That saves all running
programs in a list, so panel will be started twice; one by WM and the

Right click on a window an select 'Attributes...'. That will let you into
a menu to set up several options of a window. Turn off omnipresent.

I really don't know, but you can use the -geometry parameter and pass it
to xterm / gmc to specify where do you like to be placed.
