I've added GKrellM to ./.kde2/Autostart so it runs everytime I start KDE (kstart --window gkrellm --alldesktops --ontop --skiptaskbar /usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm). However, I'd like to know if it's possible to tell KDE where to place the application when it starts. Presently, all non-KDE application start in the top left-hand corner.
Any ideas?

If you use the session management option (save session when exiting KDE2), it'll start GKrellM and place it on whichever (or all) desktops when you start KDE2 again.
In GKrellM's options, you can have it remember it's last saved position -- combine these 2 and you get what you want :)
Thanks for the quick reply. Alas this doesn't work for non-KDE aware applications.
I've done a bit of homework and come up with a partial solution using the -geometry switch from man:X. Unfortunately, it doesn't locate the window correctly: kstart --window GKrellM --alldesktops --ontop --skiptaskbar /usr/X11R6/bin/gkrellm -geometry 50x50-0-0 I'll keep working on it unless someone has any ideas.
