For the moment I want to see how it goes without
FvwmEvent. I don't like to overuse FvwmEvent.

Tricky. Using this helps a bit. But the behaviour is still
strange to me.
Repeated use of PlaceAgain on a window moves it towards the
bottom right corner - even if it is the only window on the
page.

Is there a way to reset the cascade algorithm? I think a
function which is executed when I entering a page like:

AddToFunc ResetCascadePlacementWhenEmpty
+ I None (CurrentPage, !CirculateHit) ResetCascadePlacement

would help a lot. Maybe a ReadjustCascadePlacement function
which takes existing windows into account is even better.

Cheers, Uwe
