I think this is a limitation of GTK applications. AFAIK, their ideology is
that a window manager should manage window placement. Some GTK applications
implement --geometry themselves (gtop, gless), but only size, not position.
You can use FvwmEvent module, something like this:
# ------------------------------------------------------
DestroyFunc PlaceMyGtkApps
AddToFunc PlaceMyGtkApps
+ I Next (gtop) Move 100p 100p
+ I Next (gcalc) AnimatedMove 10 10
+ I Next (ghex) Move pointer
+ I Next (gtcd) Move -0 0 Warp
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmEvent*
*FvwmEventCmd
*FvwmEvent add_window Function PlaceMyGtkApps
Module FvwmEvent
# ======================================================
I didn't test this with 2.2.2, only with the current fvwm.

Mikhael.
