I'd like to open my Thunderbird compose email window somewhere other than the upper right hand corner. Here's the command I'm using:

/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose

I tried using the geometry command, with no luck. Any ideas? Thunderbird does remember the size of the window, but not the location that it opens in.

If nothing else comes up, you can use wmctrl and move the window after it opens.. Something like:

this will move and resize the active compose window

/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose; wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,100,100,600,400

Or you can even configure a devilspie rule to do this automagically: http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie/

Try Compiz's window management settings under Window Management > Place Windows -- you can define a rule that only applies to Thunderbird compose windows.
