Description Craig Emery 2002-02-14 12:27:46 UTC 
If I do

$ xterm -geometry 100x100-0+0

then the new window appears with it's right-most edge hard up against the
right edge of my X desktop.

If I do

$ gnome-terminal --geometry 100x100-0+0

then the new window appears with it's *left-most* edge hard up against the
right edge of my X desktop. i.e. It's not actually visible at all.

This argument part that I feel is not being interpreted correctly is the -0
bit.
