There isn't anything builtin for this that I could find.  What I would do
is to combine the use of getopt_long() to parse the --geometry option and then
use gtk_widget_set_uposition() to position the window.  I don't know if the 
gtkrc file allows for setting of a windows position, however.

My question is:  is getopt_long() an ANSI or POSIX routine?  Is it portable 
(re: available) to non-Linux platforms?
