Thanks for all the help everyone. The command I'm using now that works is 'xfce4-terminal --geometry 80x25+1280+0 --fullscreen --hide-toolbars --hide-borders --hide-menubar &'
which opens up the XFCE terminal on my second monitor (the first one has a resolution of 1280x1024). I did have a look at wmctrl and devilspie, and they look as though they would work, although --geometry doesn't require an extra app so works better for me. Place Windows also looks as though it would work, but as I said I don't usually run Compiz.
