I expect metacity (the window manager for gnome) does not
have this feature, no. They are also quite resistant to any
suggestion of implementing new features.
You could switch to another window manager, but what might
work better would be to look at "Devil's Pie", a window
manager "top-up" program.

Some combination of this (which is available as a debian
package) and the geometry strings someone else listed might
do what you want.
The string I have for my Eterm icon is:
/usr/bin/Eterm -L 10000 --colorBD yellow --select-line -g 101x25 --shade
100 --buttonbar 0 --scrollbar-type next
So, I am using the geometry option, but I can only set the dimensions of
the terminal, since they are the same. If I set also the position
(something like101x25+0+0), if I click four times over my icon I will
get four terminals on top of each other. Which I do not want.
I took a look at devilspie program. Correct me if I am wrong, but it
cannot distinguish different instances from the same application and
take different actions according to the instance number which is what I
want to do - apply different position for different terminal windows,
started from the same icon.
