FVWM: Automatically starting xterms on startup of fvwm2.2.4

Ive just converted over to a new install of Debian 2.2r4 which uses fvwm
2.2.4.

Below are the relevant sections of my .fvwmrc ( 1.24r) and the new
.fvwm2rc (2.2.4) files. on my original setup I had 6 lines in the
InitFunction which were there to fire up 6 Xterms on the desktop in
prearanged places. This worked fine. (Im not sure if it was the right way
of doign things. but it worked and I never had any problem with it).
WHen I converted over to 2.2.4, and include the six lines in the
InitFunction they dont work. My questions are:

1) Is there a better way of doing that
2) Is there somethign blindingly obvious im missing
3) How do I do the equivilent in a 2.2.4 .fvwm2rc file.
    What do I have to add to the initfunction ion the .fvwm2rc file to do
the equivilent of the six lines in the .fvwmrc file?
