FVWM: Baffled by Window Placement

Hi,

I recently installed the `potato' version of fvwm on my Debian box:

% fvwm -version
[FVWM][main]: Fvwm Version 2.2.3 compiled on Nov 2 1999 at 23:50:00

I had been running 2.0.46 before.

Now it seems that I can't get windows to come up where I want them
to. I had been starting Netscape on another page by doing this:

AddToFunc InitFunction ...
...
+ "I" Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape -geometry 711x563+877+609
...

Which put it on page 1 1 on my 800x600 screen. Now it is coming
up on page 0 0.

I've tried SmartPlacement, RandomPlacement, SmartPlacement *and*
RandomPlacement, and even SmartPlacementIsReallySmart, but I can't
seem to get the behavior I want.

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I've scoured the man
page and searched deja.com in vain. Any help is greatly appreciated.
