Yes, fvwm is highly configurable.
If you have something like
    Style	"jpilot"		StartsOnPage 1 0
in your ~/.fvwm2rc, then anytime and no matter how you start Jpilot,
it will be put in the appropriate Page.

Also, if you have something like
  AddToFunc InitFunction	I	Exec jpilot
jpilot will be started automatically when fvwm starts.

Note however, that this applies to fvwm2, which is now called fvwm.
The old fvwm is now called fvwm1 and afaik cannot do this.
