Not really..
If you have 2x2, and you are on the first (top,left) screen and start with
+1032+7, it will come to screen 2 (top,right). This is fine.
If you are on screen 2, and start with +1032+7, it'll end up right
_outside_ screen 2. The +X+Y is _relative_ from where you are now, not
from the top right corner.. (Haven't looked to deeply in the fvwm2 code,
is it X or fvwm[2] behaviour?)
