Though it should be mentioned that (unless you have very special
requirements) it's a bad idea.  Users expect to position their own
windows; having one app behave oddly is annoying.  If your personal
preference is to have applications appear in the upper left hand
corner there should be a way to get your window manager to do it
without affecting how other people work.
