After seeing this I tried putting the following in an app-defaults
file for one of my applications and it worked:

	*geometry:	+0+0

This file would be called

	/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/<AppClass>

where <AppClass> is the application class name you use in your call to
XtAppCreateShell (in your case the second use of "XCadPress").

The advantage of this over your .Xdefaults file is that all the users
share it: you create the file and they don't even need to know about
it.
