Slightly bad form to be replying to my own post, but nevermind. :) I played around with PositionPlacement and had a few suggestions/questions. In libs/default.h, I sugegst: #define DEFAULT_PLACEMENT_POS_CENTER_STRING "50-50w 50-50w" is changed to: #define DEFAULT_PLACEMENT_POS_CENTER_STRING "screen c 50-50w 50-50w" So that at least those people with xinerama support don't get confused as to why the window is never in the centre of a screen, at least. This also raises a question in that, if PositionPlacement works like Move, should it not also be able to interpret a string such as: Style some_window PositionPlacement screen c 200 186 Or should it be that one should use: Style some_window PositionPlacement 200 186, StartsOnScreen c Currently, the former style doesn't seem to work, even though the call to GetMoveArguments() in __pl_position_get_pos_simple() is consistent in passing the string "screen c 200 186", for instance. It might also be unrelated, but in using the PositionPlacement style, ~/.xsession-errors is riddled with errors of: [FVWM][style_parse_and_set_window_style]: <<WARNING>> Unconsumed argument in PositionPlacement center: center This is for everytime the PositionPlacement style is used, regardless of whether or not it works as intended.
