CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       Centerwhen window decorations are added to client window - window is
       moved so that center of the resulting framed window will be in the same
       location as the center of mapped client window without decorations.
       EastDecorated window is moved so that its right side is located at same
       position as right side of undecorated client window.  NorthDecorated
       window is moved so that its top side is located at same position as top
       side of undecorated client window.  NorthEastDecorated window is moved
       so that its right-top corner is located at same position as right-top
       corner of undecorated client window.  NorthWestDecorated window is
       moved so that its left-top corner is located at same position as left-
       top corner of undecorated client window.  SouthDecorated window is
       moved so that its bottom side is located at same position as bottom
       side of undecorated client window.  SouthEastDecorated window is moved
       so that its right-bottom corner is located at same position as right-
       bottom corner of undecorated client window.  SouthWestDecorated window
       is moved so that its left-bottom corner is located at same position as
       left-bottom corner of undecorated client window.  Staticwhen window
       decorations are added to client window - frame window is moved so that
       client window remains in exact position it was mapped at.
       WestDecorated window is moved so that its left side is located at same
       position as left side of undecorated client window.  DESCRIPTIONWhen
       client window is mapped on screen - Window Manager draws some frame
       decorations around it, such as Titlebar, resize handles, etc. As such
       decorations take additional space, it is nesseccary to specify if
       resulting larger window should be moved on screen in any particular
       direction in order to compensate for discrepancy in size. This is
       determined by Gravity hint.Usually Gravity is set by client itself,
       depending on geometry specified by the user. For example geometry
       -10+100 will set gravity to NorthEast, while +10+100 will set gravity
       to NorthWest. Sometimes this gravity setting requested by application
       is incorrect though, due to longstanding tradition of misinterpretation
       of its meaning. In this cases it may be desired to override gravity.
       AfterStep users can accomplish that using database file, and definig
       new Style for specific application with Gravity attribute set. For
       example it is recommended to set gravity of popular image viewver XV to
       be Static, as it tends to move self assuming that it knows
       everything.Below are the list of possible gravity values with
       explanation of its meaning.
