FVWM: How to make 2.5.10 center all new windows (with some exceptions)?

Is there a way to tell FVWM 2.5.10 to center all newly created windows
(with some exceptions based on the window name)?

Right now, I'm using FvwmEvent's add_window command to do it, but the
window is created first then moved, which looks crappy. Here's what I'm
doing now, which works but makes windows jump around when they are first
created:

        AddToFunc StartFunction
        + I Module FvwmEvent

        *FvwmEvent: StartDelay 5
        *FvwmEvent: Cmd
        *FvwmEvent: add_window "Function MyPositionWindow"

        AddToFunc MyPositionWindow
        + I ThisWindow ("Emacs") Nop
        + I TestRc (Match) Break
        + I ThisWindow ("XTerm") Nop
        + I TestRc (Match) Break
        + I ThisWindow ("Download:Manager") Move 0 0
        + I TestRc (Match) Break
        + I ThisWindow ("asclock") Move -0p -0p
        + I TestRc (Match) Break
        + I ThisWindow Function MyCenterWindow # Center all others by default

Is there a way to do this that prevents windows from being moved after
they are created?
