Thanks to those who replied.
Snapshot does what I thought it should.

The catch is that one must SELECT everything whose position one wants
 recorded.

One can do this using extended (shift Left mouse) select.

I did this in a windo with about 100 assorted icons. It works, but is rather
slow.

P.S.
 I think that if you are going to put a help button on the computer, you
should also put in some minimal context sensitive help.

P.S.2 
 When is a between windows, within windows cut/paste buffer going to be 
implemented. I realise that there is a clipboard device. Why isn't it ever
used? Even a simple minded, X type text cut/paste buffer would be nice.

P.S.3
 Finally got round to starting to play with programming the beast. One of
these days I might even contribute something useful to the net.
