You could set up FvwmEvent to move newly created Xemacs windows
to the current desk. I don't have the correct syntax handy
right now, but let FvwmEvent execute something like
Current (emacs*) movetodesk ...
when new windows are mapped.

The adjuration to be "normal" seems shockingly repellent to me; I see neither
hope nor comfort in sinking to that low level. I think it is ignorance that
makes people think of abnormality only with horror and allows them to remain
undismayed at the proximity of "normal" to average and mediocre. For surely
anyone who achieves anything is, essentially, abnormal.
