[X-Unix] Terminal.app window placement

[Warren Pollans]

Thanks, that helps a little - I can open two windows as Terminal starts 
instead of one.

What I really want is to be able to control placement of windows as I 
open them - I would like to be able to tell Terminal.app to use a "best 
fit" algorithm when opening new windows instead of staggering them.  If 
I use a virtual desktop (like CodeTek's), the "Save As ..." method 
works for the first desktop (pops up two side-by-side windows), but if 
I want to open new Terminal windows in the second desktop, they come 
out staggered -  and I really don't want all of the desktops to start 
full of Terminal windows.  This is NOT a big problem because it's not a 
lot of work to drag the windows where I want them :-)  I was just 
wondering if this is a configurable option - as it is in some X-window 
window managers - I hadn't noticed any Finder window placement options.
