I see several ways to do this. You may create a script that runs all netscapes, so it is easier to test this from a command line before you add try to do it from a menu. 1) Start 6 netscape processes and specify -geometry on the command line. Choose sizes/positions accourding to your screen size to fit exactly. 2) Start 6 netscape processes and then (after 6 pairs of Exec+Wait) run "FvwmRearrange -tile" (play with its options to do what you want). To run more than one netscape, use these parameters: netscape -remote 'openURL(http://fvwm.org/, new-window)' It is probably possible to solve your task without running 6 netscapes, but you didn't say what is your task (probably out of topic here). Anyway, you may create one local html page with <frame> tag that includes any layout you want, for example 6 frames showing 6 different locations arranged in a grid of 2 rows and 3 columns.
