Is there a way to start a program that just throws the window
on the screen and not have it prompt me for where I want it and
how big it is?  If I have a program "foo" and I run it, I just
want it to pop up where I specified in the size hints or the
XCreateWindow() routine -- I don't want to allow any interaction
with the user.

I use uwm as my window manager, but I want this to happen independently
of any window manager the user might be running (I'm assuming the
window manager can interpose here, but I may be wrong).
