Some conclusions:
1) The output of the ExplainWinowPlacement option is broken (it
shows the current desk, not the target desk). I'll fix that.
2) Fvwm did *not* ignore SkipMapping and did *not* switch desks
when the window was placed.
==> The application must have caused it. Probably the
application used the ewmh interface to switch desks.
Try to comment out the "gogo_desk(...)" call in fvwm/ewmh_events.c
in the ewmh_CurrentDesktop function. If my theory is correct,
this should suppress the problem.
If this really is the cause, contact the gimp developers and ask
them to remove this mis-feature. If they want all windows on one
desk, they should use the window group hint and hope all windows
are placed on the same desk as the group leader.
