As I said, this only can work with 2.3.19+ versions.
I see no way how it may be possible in 2.2.4, even FvwmM4 does not suply
coordinates of the current page on the desk.

It was a working idea only, you can extend it. For example it is possible
to create StartOnTheCurrentPage function, which gets 1, 2 or more
parameters like command and pattern (in quotes) and uses "$0", "$1".
A clean solution is to restore Style StaysAnywhere after waiting for an
application to be mapped (Wait pattern). This may be tricky.
BTW, maybe I should not tell how something is possible in the developement
fvwm versions, just answer, not possible in 2.2.4? What do others think?
