Actually, THIS doesn't work for me, and it shouldn't. If you run xterm
this way, xterm will try to execvp "telnet foo.org", literally. It will
then fail upon not finding the command "telnet foo.org".
Of course, you may be using a smarter version of xterm than I. My version
is XFree86 3.3.3(88) .
As for the original poster, this is what I use in FvwmWharf in fvwm2 v2.2:
*FvwmWharf ant Ant.xpm Exec exec rxvt -e telnet ant
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
you can just replace rxvt with xterm and it should work.
