I am using a shell script to open xterms in a 24x4 virtual screen/viewport 
environment and discovered that the --geometry option appears to run into a 
problem with the value of the window placement exceeds 32767:

           133x33+29760+1576 (the 29760 number's position)

I was using an environment that has double monitors configured via xrandr.  I 
have modified the script to be able to use the X command option:

          -xrm "*Page:x y z"     (example: -xrm "*Page:0 21 1")

I would like the script to be able to determine the coordinates of the virtual 
screen the script is being run within.  Thus if the script is being run in the 
virtual screen/viewport 10 (horizontal) at 2 (vertical) it could determine the 
location it is at and make any position adjustments desired.

So far I have not found any way that would allow this.

   Sincerely,
   Donald R Laster Jr.
