I'd really like this too. I know this is possible using FvwmEvent, but
on a slow system it's visually disturbing to have a window mapped first
according to the placement setting and subsequently moved by FvwmEvent.

To answer the origunal question, I use (taken from the FAQ 3.18):

*FvwmEvent-NewWindow: StartDelay 4
*FvwmEvent-NewWindow: add_window FuncFocusWindow SkipMapping

DestroyFunc FuncFocusWindow
AddToFunc FuncFocusWindow
+ I ThisWindow ("galeon-bin") Move 0 0

AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I FvwmEvent FvwmEvent-NewWindow
