well, if you really want the 95 stuff [yech . not defaulting to that is a big 
advantage of debian over redhat :)  ]

In general, left-click on the backround for a menu of applications.  But you 
could change the last line of your ~/.xsession to use fvwm95 rather than fvwm, 
which would give you that atrocious thing.

or, the easy way :)   

In the xterm, just type 

  someappname -theoptions &

and it launches it and returns.  eg,

  netscape &


If you leave off the &, you don't get your xterm back until it quits.
