It doesn't look as though this would be too hard to add. We currently put
the lower right corner of the window 10 pixels from the lower right corner
of the screen, but it could be made configurable (like the width and
height). I can't actually experiment at the moment, since I'm on the wrong
operating system.

Of course the window manager has the last word on where windows actually
go, and some window managers like to think they know better than you.
