Fvwm is hanging in the "Wait" command. Since you say only the
first app starts correctly, it must be the "konsole" that does
not start properly. Using "Wait" is always a dangerous thing.
If you just want to start the apps on a different page you can
also try to set their position via X resources or the command line,
e.g.
xterm -g +<displaywidth>+0
to place an xterm in the top left corner of page 1 0. This way,
you can do without the "Wait". Also, if you want *all* instances
of the program appear on the same page, try
Style sylpheed-claws StartsOnPage 0 1, SkipMapping
(SkipMapping tells fvwm not to switch to that page when the window
appears).
