seeking for browser that would respect X geometry

hello,

I'm trying to run 4 browsers on one screen. Not necessarily with window manager. In kiosk mode. So I have couple of problems to solve, main showstopper is that I am not able to find any browser that would accept --geometry.

xserver.xorg is installed and I'd like to open browser with certain geometry.
What I'm trying, is calling from .xinitrc:
iceweasel google.com --geometry 400x300+10+10 &
iceweasel yahoo.com --geometry 400x300+420+10
...

somehow this is not going to happen

I hope somebody could come up with idea.

thanks-a-lot,
Mihkel

hman(1)                                                       General Commands Manual                                                      hman(1)

NAME
hman - browse the on-line manual pages SYNOPSIS
hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] name hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] [ index ] DESCRIPTION
The hman script is an interface to man2html(1) that allows you to enter man page requests at the command line and view the output in your favourite browser. The behaviour reminds of that of man(1) so that many people will be able to alias hman to man. If the browser used is netscape, and an incarnation of netscape is running already, hman will pass the request to the existing browser. OPTIONS
-P browser Specify which browser (like lynx, xmosaic, arena, chimera, netscape, amaya, ...) to use. This option overrides the MANHTMLPAGER environment variable. The default is the non-httpd version of lynx, or sensible-browser if lynx cannot be found. -H host Specify from what host to get the man pages. This option overrides the MANHTMLHOST environment variable. The default is localhost. ENVIRONMENT
MANHTMLPAGER The default browser to use is selected using this environment variable. MANHTMLHOST The default host to use is selected using this environment variable. SEE ALSO
