Gee, I thought optimistically, that shouldn't be
*too* hard -- I still have all the X crap paged in
from yesterday's full-size changes.

I was wrong.  But it's done: see xshove in rio(1).

xshove Firefox +20,10
xshove Firefox 500x800
xshove Firefox 0,0,800,600
xshove Firefox +100x200

The possibilities are endless.
