It depends on the application - Gtk has no way of knowing which window is
the main application window or how --geometry should be interpreted.
Applications should have this option though, if they don't you might mail
the author of the application.

You can get a list of supported options with the --help option, for most
programs. I don't know if it's actually in Gtk itself (?). It is in Gnmome
though so all Gnome apps have --help.
