That part doesn't work for me. I assume you meant the window of the
app that I want to specify the geometry for. In my case all the apps
that I use all the time remember their size and location when they were
last used, except Evince. And Evince is my default PDF viewer, so just
about every time I open a PDF I have to drag the corners of its window.
I don't know where Evince gets its notion about what size to open to,
but it's just about always something bizarre.

With Evince open and properly sized the way I normally want it I placed
the mouse pointer at the bottom right corner, but all I could ever get
was the resize window icon for the pointer.
