no, most of the people using compiz don't use FVWM, they use gnome. if you want serious control over your window properties, i'd recommend switching to IonWM. ive been using it for maybe 6 months now and it gives you full control over everything.
yeah but if youre using gnome/metacity devil's pie is by far the best thing going. theres even a package called gdevilspie<http://code.google.com/p/gdevilspie/>that allows you to do devil's pie scripting in an easy-to-use graphical interface this tutorial will get you started customizing firefox to use a specific workspace http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/25/how-to-set-default-workspace-size-and-window-effects-in-gnome/ but if you want firefox to open with a specific resolution, you just use this: mkdir ~/.devilspie vim ~/.devilspie/firefox.ds then paste this: (if (is (application_name) "Firefox") (begin (geometry "1024x768") ) ) save, and then run devilspie after hitting alt+f2 or something and to make this persistent just add it to your xsession (which gnome makes impossible) OR do the whole System>Prefs>Startup Applications or whatever gnome thing is used i dont remember. even if you dont use metacity, hopefully somebody will get some use out of this post.
