This is because SmartPlacement doesn't entail ActivePlacement (as it
used to). So, if there is no room for the new window, it is placed
anywhere. RandomPlacement isn't really that random, but picks
somewhere semi-sane: this is the window creep you're seeing.
The fix is to say:
Style "*" SmartPlacement, ActivePlacement
Hope this helps,
Austin
