You can place windows using the setLocation() method, and you can add
listeners for certain events.  Unfortunately, there seems no good way to
track window movements, but I'd recommend against enforcing a given
arrangement in any case (it can be really annoying when software does
that). Better to do it automatically upon startup and maybe have a button
to re-arrange.

Ciao,
Johannes
