I use wmctrl for this:
# apt-get install wmctrl
$ cat ~/GNUstep/geometry/evince.conf
WAIT=0.5
HPOS=10
VPOS=10
HSIZE=1280
VSIZE=720
And a small script:
###################################################################
#!/bin/dash
BIN=evince
if test -f ~/GNUstep/geometry/${BIN}.conf ; then
. ~/GNUstep/geometry/${BIN}.conf
else
echo "\n[ERROR] cannot find \"~/GNUstep/geometry/${BIN}.conf\"\n"
exit 1
fi
if test -z "$1" ; then
${BIN} 2>/dev/null &
else
${BIN} "$1" 2>/dev/null &
fi
PID=$!
sleep ${WAIT}
WNAME=$(wmctrl -lp | awk '/'${PID}'/ {print $1}')
wmctrl -ir ${WNAME} -e "0,${HPOS},${VPOS},${HSIZE},${VSIZE}"
###################################################################
Maybe this will give you some inspiration :)
HTH,
