Is this in a program you are writing yourself?

If not, you can use devilspie

Or since yesterday, you can use the per app settings functionality in cvs,
<applications>
   <application name="epiphany">
     <position>
       <x>68</x>
       <y>0</y>
     </position>
   </application>
   <application name="urxvt">
     <decor>false</decor>
   </application>
</applications>

(the syntax may or may not change before 3.3)
