I had a look at devils pie.  If I understand it correctly, it intercepts 
the startup of a program and if it matches certain criteria will then 
configure it according to a config file.

I should have been more clear.  I was looking for a way to click on a 
menu item and have it launch and position multiple programs in a window.
