I'm sorry, I usually only run with one desk and 2x2 pages.
I didn't pay any attention to the page vs. desk distinction,
I figured you'd set the page and desk as you wanted.

I just changed what I supplied to this:

Style "*macs*" StartsOnPage 1 0 0, SkipMapping
Style "*macs*" NoPPosition
Style "*macs*" ActivePlacementHonorsStartsOnPage

Brought up the pager, and started XEmacs and it came up on desk 1,
at page 0,0.

StartsOnPage with 3 arguments treat the args as "desk" "page-x" "page-y".

Hope this helps.
