What I would like to have (ideally) is a wrapper program that can be
run with:
xgeo <program> <desired geometry> <other arguments>
that starts <program>, waits for its request to map the main window,
and then applies the desired <geomery> for it.
I think ctwm could handle this easily, if there was a way to inform
ctwm about the requested geometry information.

One idea would be to use xrdb to set ressources on the server. These
resources are stored
as a property of the root window (do xprop -root to see this in action).
Ctwm can read this
property and perform the necessary actions.
echo 'Gimp.geometry: -0-0' | xrdm -merge
xprop -root
This shouls work fine.
