Sometime in the late 1900s it was said:

   Actually not even xterms listen to my .fvwm2rc configs! I just
   assumed (till now) that if there are many windows open on a certain
   desktop/workspace you get the "rubber.band" thingie with the
   ActivePlacement otherwise if there are no windows open *any* window
   (even an xterm) will pop.open on the top.left corner of my screen.

   Am I wrong in my assumptions?

   Hmm.. I just looked and I see the following in my ~/.fvwm2rc file:

[paste from .fvwm2rc begin]
Style "*" DecorateTransient, NoPPosition
Style "*" SloppyFocus, ActivePlacement
[paste from .fvwm2rc end]

   So I do have "NoPPosition" defined for all windows and I do not
   override this for Xterm nor Netscape!

   This is not a problem for me though since i do not really mind
   this behavior.

   Just my comments, hope this is helpful,
