Unfortunately, though, those geometries are relative to your current
page, so you have to be careful where you use them from. If you have
a 3x3 desktop and are in page 2 2 (the lower right corner) and use a
geometry (assuming 1152x900 display) of +1152+0 to start on the top
middle page, you may be surprised... Then again, it works quite
nicely for things started in InitFunction from which you (probably)
can assume the current page is 0 0.
