This is an FAQ (see the FAQ list from help menu). The short answer is
that there is no way to do this since window managers typically don't
honor an application's request for window position. They either
offset the window by the title bar/window border size, or just
completely ignore the request.

The real solution to this problem is to have a way to open a stack in
an existing window. This is high on the feature-request list for
MetaCard 2.0.
