[openbox] How to automatically position a window?

[John Russell]

No, but I just wrote a new Devilspie action called DevilspieActionExec. 
  It calls the command line that you give it as a property.  I use this 
to have it match windows, and then call wmctrl with the arguments I 
want.  It replaces $ID with the window id for identification by wmctrl. 
  I just submitted this to the devilspie author a few days ago, but I 
haven't heard anything.  I am using it right now to make thunderbird 
behave itself on my xinerama screen and it works well.  Maybe it'll be 
in the next release.
