Here is the reply to my own email ;-)

I use devilspie on linux. It works quite well.
To change the windows title of medm windows, you can use xprop

medm -macro "name=TS33" myDisplay.adl
xprop -name "myDisplay" -set WM_NAME "SCREEN_TS16"
medm -macro "name=TS33" myDisplay.adl
xprop -name "myDisplay" -set WM_NAME "SCREEN_TS33"

Once the window title has been changed, devilspie can take over with the
sample configuration file (in ~/.devilspie/sample.ds)

(begin
	(if ( is window_name "SCREEN_TS16" ) 
		(begin 
			(set workspace 2) 
			(geometry +100+100)
		)
	)
	(if (is window_name "SCREEN_TS33")
		(begin
			(set workspace 2)
			(geometry +300+100)
		)
) 

This would put the medm screen at the location I want and with the
geometry I want. For your information,
