        Start netscape, then in a terminal window start eesh.  In eesh 
do `window_list' and look and see if netscape shows up.  I get
something like:

window_list
 340004a : fletch at godzilla.phydeaux.org
 44003a1 : Netscape: godzilla.phydeaux.org
 300006b : NBC
 24000cd : panel
 2400066 : panel
[...]


        You can then use the win_op command to find the x,y that the
window is located at.  In my case its window id 44003a1, so I do:

win_op 44003a1 move ? ?
window location: 10 10


        Which is correct.   If the window was off the screen, one of
those numbers might be <0 or > 1152x900 (in my case).  If it is off
the screen, try something like:

win_op 44003a1 move 0 0


        And it should move to the upper left corner of whatever
desktop it was on.  Likewise you could use `win_op id desk #' to move
it to a specified desktop, and `win_op id area # #' to move to a
virtual desktop area.  Control-d will exit eesh (don't type `exit'
since that'll tell E to exit :), `help' and `help command' to get more 
information on commands or a specific command respectively.
