I don't think X.org can do that; it is up to the window manager to deal with 
things like position of windows ( you can't even move windows with X.org 
alone ).

Recent versions of KWin (KDE's window manager) let you store window positions, 
sizes and a top of other settings. I am sure most other toolkits/environments 
have similar options.

Would probably depend on your window manager. But I don't see why not (X.org 
is supposed to be network transparent).
