Perhaps it asks fvwm to be at the bottom when it starts up. If so
you should be able to raise it if you wait a second or two.

Does this happen with any application or just with certain windows?
My guess is that you have either some windows with MouseFocus or
the application reverts the focus back to the root window itself.

Does the window have a title? Does it have a title when it's
iconified? Probably the application doesn't set an icon title
and your pager is configured to show the icon label. Try

  *FvwmPagerWindowLabelFormat %r

or

  *FvwmPagerWindowLabelFormat %t

Better ask the Afterstep folks :-) If there's something worthwhile,
just give us a hint so we can copy it.
