If I recall correctly, LXDE is condemned by many for putting 
all new windows in the middle of the screen (on top of each 
other). 

A thoroughly disgusting workaround hack, is to cover the screen 
with other windows, except for the middle of the screen. 
I.e., leave the middle of the screen bare. Many window managers 
will try to put new windows on a bare spot. Works in XFCE with 
Firefox.
