But IMO the window placement is better as it is now until there's something that works like the window command. Personally I really don't open that many windows after I start initially, but I have a setup with a couple of windows that I like to position exactly right using geometry commands in X. When 9wm-1.2 opens I have to left click to make all of the programs in my .xinitrc position themselves correctly. In Russ's version they pop up automatically right where I want them.
