Dan,

Harry is using the AnotherLevel package from RedHat which calls one
specific "decors" FVWM95, another MWM, etc.

Harry,

Regarding starting an app. on a specific page or Desk do
$man fvwm2
and search for "Page"

I get this...

       A better way to place windows on a different page or desk
       from the currently mapped viewport is to use the StartsOnPage
       style specification (the successor to the older
       StartsOnDesk style) in the .fvwm2 configuration file. The
       placement is consistent: it does not depend on your current
       location on the virtual desktop.

       Some applications that understand standard Xt command line
       arguments and X resources, like xterm and xfontsel, allow
       the user to specify the start-up desk or page on the
       command line:

            xterm -xrm "*Desk:1"

       will start an xterm on desk number 1;

            xterm -xrm "*Page:3 2 1"

       will start an xterm two pages to the right and one down
       from the upper left hand page of desk number 3. Not all
       applications understand the use of these options, however.

and so on...

This is just a snippet to get you located, but you really should look it
over to understand it better...

Tom
