I don't think it's your syntax. If you are using ActivePlacement (probably)
then you might try adding
GlobalOpts ActivePlacementHonorsStartsOnPage
This is supposed to be the default, but I have a feeling it isn't (it doesn't
appear to be for me right now in fvwm2-2.2.2-3).
Alternatively, you could add the RandomPlacement option on these Style lines:
Style news* StartsOnPage 0 2, SkipMapping, RandomPlacement
