        There are several problems with the command syntax. First, you want to
be using StartsOnPage, not StartsOnDesk. StartsOnDesk only takes one
argument, the desk number; you can't specify a page with it. Second, the
syntax isn't right for StartsOnPage, either, to do what you want.
"StartsOnPage 1 0" would tell FVWM to put the window on page 1,0 of the
current desk. Third, specifying the string "xfm" only catches one of the
xfm windows: the Apps window has a resource name of "xfm", but the file
windows do not. However, they all have a Class name of "Xfm".

        So, what you really want to specify is

Style Xfm* StartsOnPage 1 1 0, SkipMapping, ...

to start it on Page 1,0 of Desk 1 (I assume that's what you mean by your
other desk).


Cheers,
Bob
