Is there a way to start `vcxsrv` at a certain window position every time?

[johndebord]

I've already tried the following option, and it's not what I'm looking for:

-screen scr_num [width height [x y] | [[WxH[+X+Y]][@m]] ]
    Enable screen scr_num and optionally specify a width and
    height and initial position for that screen. Additionally
    a monitor number can be specified to start the server on,
    at which point, all coordinates become relative to that
    monitor. Examples:
     -screen 0 800x600+100+100@2 ; 2nd monitor offset 100,100 size 800x600
     -screen 0 1024x768@3        ; 3rd monitor size 1024x768
     -screen 0 @1 ; on 1st monitor using its full resolution (the default)

I'm talking about how to start the window, let's say, at the far top left corner every time. Instead, it starts up at a seemingly arbitrary location each time launch I it.

Operating System: Windows 10 Home Version 1903 WSL Version: WSL1 WSL Distro: Ubuntu-18.04

AFAIK there's no builtin way to achieve this in windows. Maybe this helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7977322/set-the-window-position-of-an-application-via-command-line
