I just figured this out yesterday after digging through the
source code.  Try:
(setq x-switches '(("-w" ."=80x24x10x10")))

This will put an 80x20 window at 10,10 without you having to 
hit your mouse.  Can anyone let me know how to conditionally load
my X stuff in my .emacs depending on whether I am in an X window or an
ascii terminal?
