This is ok, but the '2' in StartsOnDesk has no meaning, this is evaluated
to 'StartsOnDesk 1'. Or you mean StartsOnPage? You may try SkipMapping.

If you start kedit at startup, for this to work, it is important that you
do this in InitFunction and not in .Xclients or .xinitrc.
Otherwise give more information. It works for me.

kedit sets not very helpful window and resource names for its windows.
You may try to check the names using FvwmIdent. Then use something like:
Style "Open" StartNormal # this should be after Style "kedit"

Check other threads on this list. This will be in FAQ in several days.
But all kedit windows have resource name kedit and it seems impossible to
identify the main window, so you will have the same problems as in (2).
Also if you use FvwmEvent to set a geometry of kedit, you can call
'Next (kedit) Iconify true' in the same add_window event function.
You may want to ask kedit authors to implement -geometry, and to change
window name of the main window to "kedit - No File" or "kedit -
current.txt", so it would be possible to identify the main window only.
