[openbox] ignore client requested coordinates?

Paul> <position force="no">
Paul> # the position is only used if both an x and y coordinate are provided
Paul> # (and not set to 'default')
Paul> # when force is "yes", then the window will be placed here even if it
Paul> # says you want it placed elsewhere.    this is to override buggy
Paul> # applications who refuse to behave
Paul> <x>center</x>
Paul> # a number like 50, or 'center' to center on screen. use a negative number
Paul> # to start from the right (or bottom for <y>), ie -50 is 50 pixels from the
Paul> # right edge (or bottom).
Paul> <y>200</y>
Paul> <monitor>1</monitor>
Paul> # specifies the monitor in a xinerama setup.
Paul> # 1 is the first head, or 'mouse' for wherever the mouse is
Paul> </position>

Well, I saw that ;-) It doesn't really say how to do what I wrote,
though.  Should I use "default" for both x and y?
