Default terminal window position

Hello,

Is there a way to set the default terminal window position and new window behaviour? I'd like to have my first terminal window open in the upper left hand corner of the screen, with each window tiled next to the previous window when I open subsequent windows. I have the default Terminal window size set so that exactly 9 terminal windows will fit on my screen. I use multiple monitors, but one of them always displays iTunes, so ideally I'd like to have the Terminal windows only tile up my bigger monitor (I'm using an old PowerBook as a sort of Mac interface that mounts the file system of my actual Linux box).

While I'm at it, is there any way to set a keyboard command to automatically launch a new terminal window? I want something that will launch a terminal no matter where I am, what application I'm in, or whether Terminal is already open. For example, in Ubuntu Linux, I press ctrl+opt T at any point and a terminal pops. BTW, that terminal window always appears either in the upper left corner of the screen or tiled with respect to pre-existing terminal windows. Basically, I want to emulate this behaviour on Mac OS 10.5.

Thanks,
Adrian
