At one point in the past I had worked out a method to do basically what 
the @x command does.  This was before I realized it had a built-in 
method of doing exactly what I was trying to do.

What I did was specify a root window size, offset, and pass the 
-nodecoration parameter to the X server.  The exact commands escape me 
and I currently am running Mandrake rather than Windows, but perhaps 
later this morning I'll take a look at my work machine.

I do recall it involved the -screen parameter and specifying an offset...
