Have taken a look to define-frame-preference?

I used the "define-frame-reference" code in the example file, but it doesn't seem to do anything! Here is the code snippet and when the WM starts up, I see -nothing- but a blank screen and a mouse pointer:

;;; Define window placement policy...

;; Clear rules
(clear-window-placement-rules)

;; Last rule to match takes precedence!
;; TIP: if the argument to :title or :role begins with an ellipsis, a substring
;; match is performed.
;; TIP: if the :create flag is set then a missing group will be created and
;; restored from *data-dir*/create file.
;; TIP: if the :restore flag is set then group dump is restored even for an
;; existing group using *data-dir*/restore file.
(define-frame-preference "Default"
  ;; frame raise lock (lock AND raise == jumpto)
  (0 t nil :class "Konqueror" :role "...konqueror-mainwindow")
  (1 t nil :class "XTerm"))

(define-frame-preference "Ardour"
  (0 t   t   :instance "ardour_editor" :type :normal)
  (0 t   t   :title "Ardour - Session Control")
  (0 nil nil :class "XTerm")
  (1 t   nil :type :normal)
  (1 t   t   :instance "ardour_mixer")
  (2 t   t   :instance "jvmetro")
  (1 t   t   :instance "qjackctl")
  (3 t   t   :instance "qjackctl" :role "qjackctlMainForm"))

(define-frame-preference "Shareland"
  (0 t   nil :class "XTerm")
  (1 nil t   :class "aMule"))

(define-frame-preference "Emacs"
  (1 t t :restore "emacs-editing-dump" :title "...xdvi")
  (0 t t :create "emacs-dump" :class "Emacs"))
