The man pages of TWM tells me that if I specify a -geometry [size x size] + offset + offset, TWM will honor this and create the window in that location.

For which types of windows is this possible? It is possible to set a geometry for xclock and xterm, but not for gvim. How can I initially position gvim - for example - at a given position on my screen?

Ultimately is is up to each individual application to parse its own command line options, so some may support a -geometry option and some won't. You will have to check the man page or usage message for each application.

It's worth nothing that gvim does seem to have a working -geometry option, at least on my system.
