This is a whole new thing to allow better window placement policy :

.fi
WindowBox   "some_name"
    Area   WxH+X+Y
    Virtual
    MinWidth        width
    MinHeight       height
    MaxWidth        width
    MaxHeight       height
    FirstTry        SmartPlacement|RandomPlacement|Tile
    ThenTry         RandomPlacement|Cascade|Manual
    VerticalPriority
    ReverseOrder

    MinLayer    min_layer

Note that old SmartPlacement/RandomPlacement has been coopted to be used for Default windowbox\&.
