if i get the manpage right there are two different switches:
SmartPlacement/DumbPlacement
and
RandomPlacement/ActivePlacement
therefore all you windows are placed "smart" which overrides the active
placement
for the last two. i'm not sure but try:
Style "*Test*" ActivePlacement,DumbPlacement
Style "*Demo*" ActivePlacement,DumbPlacement
which should turn off the SmartPlacement explicitly.
