LaTeX in general doesn't work with absolute positions as it needs
flexibility to make nice output.

I've send you one version which is flexible enough to be extended to
your needs (as I understand them). Another idea is to start the
relevant slides with \rput'ed pictures. As the cursor hasn't moved yet
at the start of a slide, these pics get on the same place everytime
(relative to the cursor position).
Example:
\begin{slide}{Title}
\rput[tl](1,-1){\includegraphics{myfig1.eps}}
\rput[tl](2,-2){\includegraphics{myfig2.eps}}
my text
\end{slide}
The next slide can again start with the \rput's and hence the figs on
the next slide are at the same position again.
