FVWM will always put you on the last desk/page you were on before you
restarted, unless you have something in your RestartFunction or
StartFunction which says otherwise.  In your case, you were still having to
iterate over all the desks to replace your FvwmPagers.

The only reason you've had to go through those hoops in the first place is
because you're using the same module alias many times.  If you used
different module aliases, you could do this:

DestroyModuleConfig foo:*
*foo: ...
*foo: ...

DestroyModuleConfig foo2:*
*foo2: ...
*foo2: ...

AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmPager foo
+ I Module FvwmPager foo2

Style foo  StartsOnDesk ...
Style foo2 StartsOnDesk ...

See above.

I'm done with this then.  Good luck.
