Fvwm forces new windows onto the same desk if one of two
conditions is met:
1) The new window is a transient of the old one.
Currently, there is no way to prevent this effect. All you
can do is to use FvwmEvent to move the new window to the
current desk. (A patch is welcome, look at placement.c,
around line 1250).
2) The new window is in the same window group, and the old
window is the group leader.
In this case, use
Style <appname> ScatterWindowGroups
