Yes, there is a way to specify the location of an EDM window from the

commandline. For example -open screen.edl?300?400 will open screen.edl

at X=300, Y=400 (You can also specify a display if your monitors are

configured as separate displays). See:

http://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/edm/edmUserManual/index.html#id3488573

However, I modified our copy of EDM to handle multiple displays in the

same way as our previous display manager. Since our 6 monitor displays

are configured as a single display, we run a separate copy of edm (with

a different port) for each monitor. An environmental variable (set to

the upper left hand corner for each screen) gets added to the window

positions. Essentially, this make window positions relative to the

upper left hand corner of the monitor. I can make the code available if

anyone is interested.
