Is there a way to load xterm up at a specific location on the screen [bottom right]?
I'm setting up a screenshot command with scrot for a hotkey, the window now loads up at a small size but in the middle of the screen which makes the screenshot look ugly :P
This is the command I have.
xterm -geometry 80x5 -e "scrot -cd 5 /home/jim/screenshot.png"
I'm running Ubuntu and Openbox.

-geometry width x height +/- xoffset +/- yoffset
width = in pixels usually; in characters for xterm
height = in pixels usually; in rows for xterm
+xoffset = pixels from left edge of screen
-xoffset = pixels from right edge of screen
+yoffset = pixels from top edge of screen
-yoffset = pixels from bottom edge of screen
xterm -geometry 132x40-10+350 &

That worked perfectly, thanks :) I looked through the manual, but I obviously didn't look far enough :P
