Summary:                    intelligent window placement
Description: 
At the moment, XFWM (4.0.4) places new windows in the top-left corner, and
then cascades them down from there. However, a technique which I always
found a lot more condusive to getting work done, was Metacity's technique
of bringing up new windows in the center of the screen.

Could XFWM be altered to bring up new windows in the center of the screen,
and then following windows up in positions near the corners of that main
window, and so on, like a flower/petal pattern? No more cascading, or
repositioning windows to the center =)
