   Just the subject of your mail beginning with 'help:', this could
be considered as a bug of Majordomo (at least the very old version I
am running).

  There is an undocumented feature called WindowRegion. Ths syntax is
the
same as IconRegion. For example :

WindowRegion "200x200+100+100" West North {
    "xclock"
}

   This should solve your problem, but this not well tested.
