I think you have a point. The fvwm2rc.gnome-0.2 I used as a template
actually has this:

#
# NoPPosition instructs fvwm to ignore the PPosition field in window
# geometry hints. Emacs annoyingly sets PPosition to (0,0)!
#
Style "*" NoPPosition

How do I configure enlightenment for that?

Actually I am allowed to manually place xemacs on enlightenment.

P.S. I don't know what NoPPosition means.
