Mikhael,

Based on your advice, I was able to make new FVWM-placed windows appear
in a consistent location (though not exactly centered on the screen)
with this code in my .fvwm2rc file:

        DestroyFunc MyCenterWindow
        AddToFunc MyCenterWindow
        + I WindowId $0 (PlacedByFvwm) Move 25 25

        *FvwmEvent: StartDelay 5
        *FvwmEvent: Cmd
        *FvwmEvent: PassID
        *FvwmEvent: add_window "Function MyCenterWindow"

Thanks!
