You probably mean applications swallowed by FvwmButtons, not a pager.
You may specify a geometry for such applications that is out of the
screen. Search for "-geometry" in the FvwmButtons man page.

You may add such splash yourself if you want. Here is an idea for 2.4.x.
Add these lines as the first lines of your .fvwm2rc:
Style MySplash NoTitle, NoHandles, BorderWidth 0, Layer 12
Exec exec xeyes -name MySplash -fg rgb:88/77/55 -bg rgb:55/44/33 -outline rgb:aa/a0/80 -center rgb:ef/d8/90 +shape -g $[vp.width]x$[vp.height]+0+0
And these lines as the last lines of your .fvwm2rc:
AddToFunc InitFunction I All (MySplash) Close
AddToFunc RestartFunction I All (MySplash) Close
Regards,
Mikhael.
