FVWM: Windows for java apps Don't Obey Placement

Hi,
I have a rather annoying problem when running java apps. The windows that are
produced by java apps don't obey my manual placement. For some of the apps,
it always goes right to the top left corner of my virtual window, hiding even
the handles and menu in the handles, make me cannot grab it to move it.
For some windows app, it just tends to go more to the top left.

I only see this happens with java programs. I am not sure what causes this. I
am using FVWM 2.4.8 compiled from source on Redhat Linux 7.3. Here is part of
my rc files that specify window placement. Any help would greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.


######################## WINDOW PLACEMENT #######################
# RandomPlacement prevents user interaction while placing windows:
# Style "*" RandomPlacement

# Manual Placement asks user interaction while placing windows:
Style "*" ManualPlacement

# SmartPlacement makes new windows pop-up in blank regions of screen
# if possible, or falls back to random or Manual placement.
Style * SmartPlacement
 
# With SmartPlacement, windows will normally place themselves over icons.
# Uncomment this to change that.
#StubbornPlacement

# NoPPosition instructs fvwm to ignore the PPosition field in window
# geometry hints. Emacs annoyingly sets PPosition to (0,0)!
Style "*" NoPPosition
