FVWM: "Window Creep"

I've just started using fvwm2. I'm using version 2.0.42 (as packaged
by Austin Donnely for Debian Linux).

I've found a very odd bit of behavior, best described as "Window
Creep". In short, as I open copies of Mosaic over the source of a
session, their starting positions move progressively further to the
right.

I've got the following styles in my .fvwmrc2.

Style "*" Icon unknown.xpm
Style "*" BorderWidth 0
Style "*" HandleWidth 0
Style "*" MWMFunctions
Style "*" HintOverride
Style "*" Color White/DarkGreen
Style "*" NoPPosition
Style "*" SmartPlacement
Style "*" SloppyFocus
Style "*" IconBox -50 -100 -1 -1
Style "FvwmButtons" NoTitle, Sticky, WindowListSkip, ClickToFocus

I would guess this would be an issue with SmartPlacement (it also
seems to act differently than in fvwm 1.X, in that it's not so careful
about making sure windows are up against the top left corner of the
available space).

Any ideas?

Mike.
