Placement of new window

[artee]

Hi,
in fvwm I have default placement set to ManualPlacement:
Style * ManualPlacement

I want to ask how to arrange that gkrellm will be always opened in top left corner without asking?

And another question: gaim is allways running in sticky mode, I have in my config
Style Gaim Slippery,StartsOnPage 2 0
but it doesn’t work

Thank you for any hints
Roman

Style GKrellm MinOverlapPlacement

Style Gaim Slippery,StartsOnPage 2 0
but it doesn’t work :(

… in that the Gaim window is still sticky? Check with FvwmIdent the
name of the window in that case, or use its class name.

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I have found, that your code should be written in config file after “Style * ManualPlacement”, otherwise it’s not working…

I use some config files downloaded from the internet and I didn’t notice that Style for Gaim is redefined in these config files later.

Thank you,

Yes, order of precedence is important:
