I don't believe so. In general, under Unix/Linux, the Window Manager determines window positioning upon startup unless the application overrides this behavior. Some applications let you specify application window positioning via command line 'geometry' arguments or via the use of an .Xresources file. Some WM's provide more or less functionality for this behavior relative to user customization. For example, Sawfish provides quite a bit, whereas Metacity hides much of it. You may want to check the documentation for the WM that you are using. There is also an application called Devil's Pie: http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie which provides additional Sawfish-like customization for window positioning, etc. However, this is global for a given window, not on a per instance basis.
