You may try using StartsOnPage style. Like this AddToFunc InitFunction + I Style Emacs StartsOnPage 2 0 + I exec emacs + I wait Emacs + I Style Emacs StartsAnyWhere here we set style for emacs to appear on page 2 0 , then wait for window to appear and then remove the style just in case you want to launch other emacses in current page. I didn't test it though, try on your own risk :-) > Maybe I could try to get this to work when I switch to a desk, > and just startup there the application (according the the fvwm > man page), but then I'm still wondering why this above does not > really work here. > > Maybe the Wait function does not wait long enough? or has a wrong > parameter?
