From the xterm man page:
Quote:
# geom This option specifies the preferred position of the icon window. It is shorthand for specifying the ``* iconGeometry'' resource.

iconGeometry (class IconGeometry) Specifies the preferred size and position of the application when iconified. It is not necessarily obeyed by all window managers.
That last sentence could stand a bit of rephrasing. I am not aware of any window manager that pays the slightest bit of attention to this resource.
