I'm running Debian sid, metacity.
In my GNOME pager I have 2 rows, 3 columns. Call it 1,1, 2,1, 3,1, 1,2,
2,2, 3,2. I start located at 2,2.
I have tried every combination of the following:
xterm -xrm '[*]{Desk|Page}[:][ ]a[ b][ c]'
where a is one of 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and sometimes b and c are 0 0, 1 1, 1
0, or 0 1.
Every time, the xterm opens on the same window/ screen as I type the
command (into gnome-terminal) from.
I have two monitors, each 1600x1200, xinerama (side by side).
Any pointers as to how I can either save the desktop location of my
xterms into the gnome-session, or just manually specify (as I was hoping
above would work) where to start each x term, would save my days, weeks,
life :)
