i don't really get what this has to do with midi, but most x-applications
do provide a -geometry command line options for specifying window positions
and size..

kde applications can be remote controlled using dcop (there is a command
line tool 'dcop' to just send commands and a gui tool 'kdcop' which is
pretty handy for playing around with the features). This includes moving
and resizing windows.

technically it should also be possible to move and resize any x11 window by
interacting with the window manager - however, i don't know the apis to do
this with any of the window managers i know..
