A WindowGravity option that affects SmartPlacement (and perhaps
RandomPlacement too) might not be a bad idea. I think I'll add it to
the TO-DO list for the time being.
As for making it a Style option, I don't know. It certainly cannot
even be considered until the "Great Style Flag Rewrite" (to allow >32
style options) that I plan to do shortly after the first official
release, whenever I actually manage to get that out... ;^)
