Yes indeed, once I figured out where to put it. The Redhat setup has
a somewhat confusing array of config files.
ls /etc/X11/AnotherLevel:
decors
fvwm2rc.apps.m4
fvwm2rc.decors.m4
fvwm2rc.defines.m4
fvwm2rc.defstyles.m4
fvwm2rc.forms.m4
fvwm2rc.functions.m4
fvwm2rc.hostmenus.m4
fvwm2rc.init.m4
fvwm2rc.keys.m4
fvwm2rc.m4
fvwm2rc.macros.m4
fvwm2rc.menus.m4
fvwm2rc.modules.m4
fvwm2rc.mouse.m4
fvwm2rc.xlock.m4
scripts

I run in FVWM95 so it was in decors/FVWM95

grep -rA1 'lacement' .AnotherLevel/decors/FVWM95

#Style "*" SmartPlacement, ifdef(`INTERACTIVE_PLACEMENT',\
 `ActivePlacement', `RandomPlacement')

# added line below [HP -ed] Dec 03 12:24:21 2000
Style "*" RandomPlacement, DumbPlacement, ifdef(`INTERACTIVE_PLACEMENT',\
`ActivePlacement', `RandomPlacement')


The line I added seems to be having the desired effect
... thanks
