In your .fvwmrc. This is from .fvwm95rc Exec rxvt -name Mail -T Mail -font 10x20 -geometry 100x37 -e mutt -y & Exec "Netscape" netscape -geometry 920x622+90+5 &' or in .xinit (to start programs at at startup) This is in my .xinitrc xsetroot -cursor_name gumby & xlnet -geometry +213+725 & xnet & pppload -geometry +4+649 & xosview -geometry +2+775 & BTW this info IS in the man pages & doc's.
