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

Puzzled over over the relationship between the partition and geometry of hard disk.

Not sure why solaris couldn't detect the geometry of a hard disk which has a working OS of winxp pro. Is it due to the different OS that the partition information is stored in different location? When I type '"format" it is shown as below, c3d1 < drive type unknown>...
