I've wondered silently about his for years. Thank you for answering it! I'm running Slackware 12.0 with fvwm2 version 2.4.20 (because that's what Slackware 12.0 comes with). I'd like to start firefox on a particular page. I can't get that to work with version 2.4.20. If I upgraded to fvwm2 2.5.* and figure out the new syntax, would I be able to pick the page that any application (including firefox) starts on? Paul.
