PekWM window placement / moving

Question

I just started using PekWM and really like it, but I'm having trouble with two points.
1) Is there a way to set window placement to be random? By default it's set to "CenteredOnParent Smart MouseNotUnder", and it doesn't seem to center on anything, and it certainly doesn't seem very smart.
2) When I drag a window to another workspace, I go FLYING all the way to the last workspace in the column or row. Is there a way to make dragging windows between workspaces a little less hyperactive?
Thank you!
