I think fvwm works correctly here but netscape is broken.
In your config you have:
Style * NoPPosition
Style * RandomPlacement, SmartPlacement
GlobalOpts SmartPlacementIsReallySmart
In other words: you are using CleverPlacement and tell fvwm to
ignore program specified size hints. But if you issue a line
like
$ netscape -geometry 1268x987+0+0
Netscape claims the provided geometry is *program* specified,
not *user* specified. Thus, fvwm ignores the given position
and looks for one using the CleverPlacement algorithm. Please
try if
Style Navigator UsePPosition
fixes your problem.
