FVWM: Move and resize question

I'm using fvwm2-2.2.2-3

I have several programs (like Netscape) which I run during InitFunction and would like them to pop-up at specific locations and sizes on different desks within FVWMPager. For example, I have Desks 0 thru 3 and would like Netscape to load to Desk 1 with a certain size and location without Focus moving to Desk 1.

I define the Style like:

Style "Netscape" Icon mini-nscape.xpm, SkipMapping, StartsOnDesk 1

...add a Function call within the InitFunction

DestroyFunc "InitFunction"
AddToFunc "InitFunction"
+ "I" Function SpawnNetscape

...and have the Function defined as

DestroyFunc "SpawnNetscape"
AddToFunc "SpawnNetscape"
+ "I" Next [Netscape] Move 12p 20p
+ "I" Exec exec /usr/local/netscape/netscape
+ "I" Prev [Netscape] Maximize 91 89

Netscape pop's up on the correct desk and focus doesn't change but the Move and Maximize commands are "ignored". I've shuffled things around a couple of different ways like:

DestroyFunc "SpawnNetscape"
AddToFunc "SpawnNetscape"
+ "I" Next [Netscape] Move 12p 20p
+ "I" Next [Netscape] Maximize 91 89
+ "I" Exec exec /usr/local/netscape/netscape

But that doesn't work either. I also used FvwmIdent to find the correct Class (Netscape) and Resource (Navigator) and neither work. Most programs are easy because of "-geometry".

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Pat
