Great! I'm only having two problems now here.. I'm using Debian's fvwm2rc
system with the user hooks in it. I have all my module resource setting
and Style settings done in my ~/.fvwm/post.hook
My post.hook is Read'ing post.hook.$[screen], which have per-display
customisations for FvwmIconMan and FvwmPager.

I am loading FvwmIconMan from my init-restart.hook, as the local
documentation indicates I should. FvwmPager is loading from the system
fvwm2rc file.

Problem: My FvwmPagerGeometry setting is halfway-honoured: The size part
is honoured but the placement part isn't, for either screen.

Problem: (old problem even with fvwm 2.2) I gain two instances of
FvwmIconMan per screen, superimposed on each other. My gut feeling is that
there will be 'n' of these, where n is the number of screens attached to
the session.

I've checked, and discovered that even loading FvwmIconMan from
init-restart.hook.0 and not from .1 loads two instances on screen 0. It
appears that FvwmIconMan is too smart for its own good?
