Hi everyone,
I did not feal comfortable with any of the provided window placement
methods. I would like the windows to appear where the mouse pointer is
because this is the place my eyes are concentrating on.
Even ManualPlacement is one click too much.
The patch allows you to put "Style * MousePlacement" into your .fvwm2rc
and you will never have to turn your head again when a new window shows
up.
