Many applications have options like -g, -geom or -geometry. For
example with xterm:

  $ xterm -geom -0-0

If the application doesn't have one of these, you can put an X
resource string in your $HOME/.Xdefaults file, e.g.

 *myapplication*geometry: -0-0

where myapplication is the application's name or class or
resource. You can find that out with FvwmIdent. It's sometimes
a bit difficult to find the correct line, though.
