I already added these to the man page for the next release, basically
taken from the fvwm 1.xx man page:

               RandomPlacement causes windows which would normally
               require user placement to be automatically placed in
               ever-so- slightly random locations. For the best of
               all possible worlds use both RandomPlacement and
               SmartPlacement.

               SmartPlacement causes windows which would normally
               require user placement to be automatically placed in a
               smart location - a location in which they do not
               overlap any other windows on the screen. If no such
               position can be found user placement or random
               placement will be used as a fall-back method. For the
               best of all possible worlds use both RandomPlacement
               and SmartPlacement.

Not currently.
