I was looking for something more on the lines of what I just found
in docs/TODO.

  - A WindowGravity option that controlls placement direction choices
    for SmartPlacement (and perhaps RandomPlacement)? Perhaps make it
    a Style option??

:-)

Like when the first window opens (and no geometry is specified) it
is put at +0+0, and then the next is put at +583+0 and so on. I am
going to try to write a script that will change +0+0 to -0-0 and
+583+0 to -583-0 etc., and then plug that converted position into
AnimatedMove to move thæ window. If any one has any easy ways to do
this please let me know :-), otherwise i will report back when I
figure it out.

thx,
sa
