If I start all 23 of my xterms in one go, things get in a mess.
They're meant to be distributed across 20 pages of an fvwm desktop.
So I start them (and the other apps) with
xtoolwait -timeout 15 xterm ...
Because xtoolwait waits for each window to be mapped on its
appropriate page, the numbering is predictable. It does start,
however, at 0, not 1.
But you have to go back to squeeze to find the xtoolwait package.
It's a mere 12626 bytes. I don't know why it was dropped.
Cheers,
David.
