My mistake. I was using the wrong sylpheed window name with my "Wait"
command.

Thanks, I will attempt this with gkrellm.

This has sorted out my sylpheed placement, though I had to use *ylpheed*

I have simplified the rest of my config to be the following, but I still
can't get things to work as I want :(
Style "*ylpheed*" StartsOnPage 0 1, SkipMapping
DestroyFunc InitFunction
AddToFunc InitFunction
+ I Exec exec sylpheed-claws
+ I GotoPage 2 0
+ I Exec exec konsole
+ I GotoPage 3 0
+ I Exec exec konsole
+ I GotoPage 0 0
I expect the instructions in the above"InitFunction" to be executed
sequentially, ie execute sylpheed, go to page 2, start konsole on that
page, go to page 3, start konsole on that page too, and then go to page
1. However, things are not working as I expect.
The two konsole sessions both start on page 1, instead of on page 2 and
page 3. How could I get around this? Are there any FAQs I can read etc?
konsole doesn't seem to accept the --geometry parameter, and I don't
want to use a "StartsOnPage" style option on it, as I start it up in
more than one place.
Thanks
