X applications (all of them) historically supported the "-display" and
"-geometry" options on the command line:
xterm -geometry 80x25+1024+0
Which if you secondary monitor is 1024 pixels to the right should place it
on that monitor. A '-' instead of the '+' causes right-alignment instead.
Originally you used to have to run a separate X server for each monitor, and
that is what '-display :1' is for (you might also come across it for X
forwarding, or ssh and other special cases), but now there is Xinerama.
Sadly, I tested "-geometry" with gnome-terminal and it doesn't understand
the traditionally-understood options. These is probably some way to put
this options in a Window Manager configuration file too; but my memory blurs
back to fvwm2 and that's maybe not relevant any more...
Hope that helps,
