I presume that your scenario is based on one of the examples of the
libports repository. These examples use the window manager, which
employs dedicated components for the managing the window layout
(layouter) and producing the window decorations (decorator). The initial
positioning of windows is the job of the layouter. The layouter used by
the examples can be configured to place new windows at a specified
position. You can find the configuration options documented in the
corresponding README [1].
