    I'm running Debian sid, metacity.

    In my GNOME pager I have 2 rows, 3 columns. Call it 1,1, 2,1, 3,1, 1,2,
    2,2, 3,2. I start located at 2,2.

    I have tried every combination of the following:

    xterm -xrm '[*]{Desk|Page}[:][ ]a[ b][ c]'

    where a is one of 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and sometimes b and c are 0 0, 1 1, 1
    0, or 0 1.

    Every time, the xterm opens on the same window/ screen as I type the
    command (into gnome-terminal) from.

    I have two monitors, each 1600x1200, xinerama (side by side).

    Any pointers as to how I can either save the desktop location of my
    xterms into the gnome-session, or just manually specify (as I was hoping
    above would work) where to start each x term, would save my days, weeks,
    life :)
