Actually, I wish I didn't have to.

| CenterPlacement - should be done anyway, because I need this :)

| ConstantPlacement - the same
| and other placement policies per window...

And, just thinking about this: Normal "smart placement", but make sure
the focus window stays above any new window. Hmm, ok for pointer based
focus and selected focuses - will this work ok with sloppy focus when
the pointer is outside the focus window but over the new window?

Some people have all the luck.  When I find the guy with mine, I'm gonna
kick his teeth in.
