As far as I know you'd have to allow the whole button bar to have focus just
like a window. I keep track of commands I'm always typing to start programs
etc and add a button instead. A swallowed xconsole takes care of error messages
and the like instead of a xterm then.

I honestly don't know about this one, I know you can do different things
with different mouse clicks...anyone else know? Its a nice idea.

No fix that I know of, it does this in my setup as well. Annoying isn't it?
Just start it with a given geometry perhaps, again quite simple if you have it on
a button.

This is why I'm always pressing for 'StartsOnPage'! :-)
You can write a function to go to a desk, start up program X, wait for X to appear,
and then return to page N. But thats irritating. I usually just start things iconic
now and slide them around in the pager using the middle mouse button whenever I have
time to open them and sort out what goes where.
I'd like to use StartsOnPage and SkipMapping to just have, say, Netscape start on another
page (it takes ages to start on my machine) and I'll move there when I've finished typing
some more email for example.

Erm...I've forgotten. Read the 'man' page, its in there.
