Thanks for that tip, but AFAIK affect those options all programs which
have the named window label.
E.g. Setting a StartsOnPage for Netscape means that Netscape will
always start on that page. My apps have one instance which has to be
started during the startup of my fvwm session, but another instance
can be started later within the fvwm session, this instance should
stay on the actual page and not on that for the former one.
OK, I can change the window label specially for the first instance,
but I do not like that.
