I'm trying hard to make things "just work" rather than have 500 options to
tweak. But it seems some people don't want smart placement at all. I'm not
sure if I should just provide a boolean for this or not.

Interest in focus follows mouse? Personally I think its a horrible thing,
designed for a simple implementation, not for good usability. However,
Openbox supports it. I don't see how that changes whether there should be a
lot of placement schemes or not.
