Well, you could do this: Style XTerm-Special-* StartsOnDesk ..., SkipMapping Where that would look something like: for i in $(seq 10); do xterm -T "XTerm-Special-$i" & done Or you could instead use XTerm's -xrm option to position specific instances of XTerms regardless of any window attribute. xterm -xrm "*Page:2 1 1" This would place the xterm on desk two, one page right and one down from desk 2. > I was thinking, it works with "MoveToPage" or "MoveToDesk" but itdoes > not work for me. Because the way you have it now, FVWM has no choice in configuring the window in question. I've spoken a lot in the past about why using Exec/Wait/GotoPage, etc., is no longer necessary: http://www.mail-archive.com/fvwm@lists.math.uh.edu/msg16494.html -- Thomas Adam -- "Deep in my heart I wish I was wrong.
