How about something a bit more standard like Xterm rather than something that's 
desktop specific.

Maybe the X man page or Xresorces man page would be a good place to start 
here, also look at the xterm man page there is the "-geometry" option this
is explained in more detail in the X man page.

Example:

Open your Xterm like this:

xterm -e tail -f some.file.to.be.read
  
And start POV something like this:

povray -whatever -option -All_File=some.file.to.be.read 

I havn't tested anything here and there are probably better solutions 
but it may get you started.
