Odd.  I downloaded Acroreader to see if I could reproduce this.  I
can't.  Indeed, using Firefox (1.0.7) just starts Acroread externally
without any intermediary transient window.

Indeed, although for me it doesn't happen here.  Acroread opens up above
Firefox.  

Which version of FVWM are you running?

Does:

Style Acroread StartsRaised

help any?

> # see bug #36189 Style "AcroRead" SmartPlacement, RandomPlacement

That style line is now incorrect.  With the version of Acroreader I have
here (7.0.5), the Class of the window is 'Acroread'.  (Case is important).
Although even if that line did run, it wouldn't solve your issue of this
window being lowered.
