Seems like you want a C function gotoPage(px, py) in your application.

Well, you can do it using gnome window manager hints, like gnome pager
applets do it. More precisely, you should modify "_WIN_AREA" XAtom.
Or "_WIN_WORKSPACE", if you also want gotoDesk(n).

You can take a look at gnome.c in fvwm or gwmh.c somewhere on internet.

Still, system("FvwmCommand 'GotoPage 1 0'") is probably the easiest way.
