Kindof amusing that the SGI folks aren't answering this question
quite right...here's what someone at our site does (thanks Cindy!), 
and it works pretty well...

In the .XDefaults file, place the following stuff. You can 
add whatever you feel like, using the standard X Windows attributes
conventions....

!! Explorer
mapEditor*geometry:	1040x860+230+150
mapEditor*background:	cadet blue
Librarian*geometry:	200x860+0+150
Librarian*background:	cadet blue
gui*geometry:		140x25+235+0
render*geometry:	300x330+500+400
