I am not sure you will like this. I would find this annoying personally.
It is possible that you will like StartsOnPage better (see also all these
Honors/IgnoresStartsOnPage and SkipMapping). At least you get consistent
results with different applications occupying different pages or desks.

I don't think you can easily do this in fvwm. You may try to do this in X
instead; define your screen size 9 times larger than the physical size
using "Virtual" directive (or something like this). Then you should
probably define your desk 1x1, not 3x3, so it is just one large page.

If you choose this way (that is not good indeed), then better use
PipeRead, not FvwmCommand.
Another (half-automatical) solution is to have a window menu to move a
window to certain page or desk, this may involve MoveToPage, GotoPage and
PlaceAgain. Or just have a key binding for PlaceAgain. Or maybe you will
find ManualPlacement for some or all windows even better (doubtfully).
