I don't get it! (there seems to be a lot of things I don't get as of late) For some reason when I start something and background it from a xterm, something like netscape or xemacs, and then close the xterm, the other apps also close. I am using fvwm2. Anyone know what is going on?

This is not something related to a specific term program or window manager. Instead of just running the command, try 'nohup command' (without the quotes). This means that the program should not die when the user "hangs up" on the terminal that started the program. One useful example: nohup xterm & to start a new xterm, which won't die when you log out of the first one.
