Whatever I do I always end up perpetually staring at Firefox sitting in the desktop page I have assigned to it. Since this apparently being a Firefox rather than an Fvwm problem, I solved it now by removing the useless "FvwmCommand 'Style Firefox Skip- Mapping'" before the "nohup firefox" command and adding sleep 3 FvwmCommand 'GotoDeskAndPage prev' after the "nohup firefox" command. This may well be regarded as an ugly hack, bu at least it works, even though it takes 3 seconds. Sincerely, Rainer
