Zzzzzzzzzzzttttttt! Thanks for playing. fvwm-1.2x groks
SmartPlacement as a top-level config directive, but not as a style, e.g.:

    # (in .fvwmrc)
    # This is all-or-nothing; you can't have SmartPlacement for
    # some windows and `active placement' for others.
    SmartPlacement
    RandomPlacement

while fvwm2 groks this:

    # (in .fvwm2rc, or whatever you've chosen to call it)
    # You can restrict this to only the windows you want in fvwm2,
    # unlike in fvwm-1.2x.
    Style * SmartPlacement
    Style * RandomPlacement
    Style
