  <Ahem> "RTFM".

  (BTW, I believe the pages start at '0' not '1').

  To quote man fvwm2:


     Some applications that understand standard Xt command line
     arguments and X resources, like xterm and xfontsel, allow
     the user to specify the start-up desk or page on the command
     line:

          xterm -xrm "*Desk:1"

     will start an xterm on desk number 1;

          xterm -xrm "*Page:3 2 1"

     will start an xterm two pages to the right and one down from
     the upper left hand page of desk number 3. Not all applica-
     tions understand the use of these options, however.


  Mind you, I've not tried that myself ... and you may be able to omit the
desk number as you can with StartsOnPage.
