Yes, any geometry spec is relative to the current page. For now you
have to deal with that. I don't recall seeing anyone post excerpts
from a .fvwmrc, though if you use FvwmM4 (and I presume FvwmCpp),
there will be HEIGHT and WIDTH variable set for you that you can use.
I do it all out of my .X11Startup file which looks something like
this:
#! /bin/sh
[...]
SCREENWIDTH=`xdpyinfo | grep dimensions | cut -dx -f1 | cut -d: -f2`
SCREENHEIGHT=`xdpyinfo | grep dimensions | cut -dx -f2 | cut -d' ' -f1`
export SCREENWIDTH SCREENHEIGHT
[...]
xterm -geometry +0+`expr $SCREENHEIGHT` &
netscape -geometry 900x725+`expr $SCREENWIDTH \* 2`+`expr $SCREENHEIGHT` &
[...]
