I would use the -g (geometry) option to the program like so:
emacs -g 80x24+0+0
to start emacs with 80x24 columns positioned at (0,0) (top,right
corner).
For Netscape I use:
netscape -geometry 800x600
I guess all you'd have to do is edit the entries in the .fvwmrc
file to include you geometry prefs.

I don't know, but I don't think it's a bug.
