 My apologies for failing to mention one important item - I access fvwm2
 via fvwm-themes.
 
 Here is the content of my "personal" directory:
 
  [felixk_at_carrot felixk]$ ls -l .fvwm/themes/personal/
 total 64
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 96 Apr 18 2003 bindings-extra
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 8008 Feb 28 11:52 functions-appbind
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 776 Apr 28 21:33 functions-appbind-extra
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 94 Apr 18 2003 functions-extra
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 1459 Apr 18 2003 globalfeel
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 678 Mar 16 12:32 menus-extra
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 0 Apr 18 2003 menus-programs-extra
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 80 Aug 14 2004 startup
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 95 Apr 18 2003 startup.01.bk
 -rw-r--r-- 1 felixk felixk 68 Apr 18 2003 stroke-extra
 
 And these are the current entries in my "startup" file (which I imagine
 needs additions):
 
 AddToFunc InitFunction
 + I Exec sleep 5
 + I Exec exec xearth -label -wait 240
 
 The programs that I load routinely are the Opera browser, the Pan
 newsreader and the Gnome terminal. I load each of them onto a different
 page and envisage that the pages need to be specified in the start-up
 file. It would be great if the programs opened at the point at which
 they were closed when fvwm2 was shutdown. Not really necessary since
 Opera and Pan do this by default.
 
 I hope that I have the terminology correct.
 
 Thank you for the prompt reply.
