opening four gnome-terminals into pre-defined positions

[ted leslie]

not all commands (i.e. gnome-terminal --hide-menubar --geometry 80x73+0+0)
have geometry support, to do this on any window you can use a script involving

wmctrl
devilspie

to place and target and control any window, even to desktops and such.
even "always on top", "on all desktops" etc.
