Well, no one answered my question, but I was able to reasonable answer
it myself. Turns out, placing a base widget depends as much on your window
manager as with IDL. You can create a base widget and set the offset:
a = WIDGET_BASE(/COLUMN, XOFFSET = 200, YOFFSET = 200, ..)
But its up to the window manager to use or ignore this offset "suggestion"
The IDL documentation (Duh!) states that with Motif (mwm) you can insert
*clientAutoPlace: off
in .Xdefaults. I've found that when using twm, you can put
UsePPosition "on"
in your .twmrc file. Other managers will probably be different :-(.
