Well, that's a little tricky... FVWM doesn't know which desktop an
application was started on, but you can say that you want to start a
certain application on a certain desktop all of the time with the Style
command, or you can have an application say it wants to start on a
certain desktop with an X resource.

Check out 'THE VIRTUAL DESKTOP' section in the manpage.
