So FVWM is good, by the sound of it?

That's exactly what I would like to do. Are you implying that, if I run
fvwm, I can run multiple virtual desktops (which the gnome pager will
support) and commands like this will work:
xterm -xrm '*Desk: 2'
?
My whole point is, I want (need) to be able to set up multiple desktops
with the xterms - not just a single or "visible" desktop.
A single desktop is simply not enough.
And whatever the case, in my current setup, I can't get an xterm to
start on anything but my current virtual desktop.
