FVWM: Window Placement Problem

(FVWM version 2.2.4)

I found the following post in the mailing list archives after having the
similar problems. Firstly, a new window on an empty screen will appear at
(2,2) not (0,0). Also, a Netscape window (say) that is the full
screen-size will also appear at (2,2) not (0,0).

I have found two things which seem to cause this in placement.c; I am
including a patch which solves the problem as far as I am concerned,
although I imagine it's not the "most correct" solution (but I don't have
time to look deeper into it).

Please tell me whether this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong...

Thanks,
Ben.

using smartplacement the first window (i.e. when the page is empty) is
placed on (1,1) whereas all the following ones are placed on (0,0)
