It has been a little while since I had a second display connected to
my Powerbook, but I remember that the Mac X11 desktop followed the
same layout as what you select in the OS X Aqua "Displays" System
Preferences. If you drag the second display over to the right (or
below) your MacBook display, then the 0+0 point will be in your main
display. This should help with the minimization location.

In any case, my troubles began when I hooked up my 17" LCD TV via
DVI-to-VGA+audio cables (please, please don't ask me why the hell
I'd want to do that). Well, I fired up X with CNN running on the
TV but the three xterms and xclock that are initiated just before
exec mwm in my ~./.xinitrc file were no where to be found. Didn't
help when I changed channels to FOX either ;-); clearly, my problem
was not a result of either conservative or semi-neutral newscasts!
Duh, I switched my TV to PC mode, voilá, there were my xterms and
clock prowdly displayed at 0+0 in 1280X768 resolution on the TV
(laptop resolution is 1680x1050). Turned off the TV, but
unfortunately it only goes to standby, so there's always a signal
(and yes, unplugging the cable or power to the TV did occur to
me). By reeeeeeeaaaaaching way over with my pointer, I dragged an
xterm over to the laptop screen and determined that if I set the
xterms geometry to 70x40+2220+20, 70x40+2210+30, and 70x40+2200+40,
they appeared in the correct spots, CNN or no CNN!
Well, all that to report shamelessly that I can't figure out how to
minimize an xterm without having the icon disappear -2230+-500
pixels away beneath CNN! After you stop laughing, how the heck do I
change the location of minimized xterm (and other) icons? Man, I
grepped the dickens out of every config X11 file I can find! Nada.
