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).
