First, check if the program has some option like "remember window position" or similar. It you can't find anything, there are a number of styles in fvwm to tame the application. Try in the given order, one by one: Style <appname> nopposition, notransientpposition Style <appname> nousposition, notransientusposition Style <appname> gnomeignorehints Style <appname> ewmhignorestatehints Style <appname> fixedpposition Style <appname> fixedusposition (some of these styles require fvwm-2.5.x).
