tintin wrote a notes about launching applications with xwem, here it
is:
-----
xwem-launch-program is maped by default to `H-x r'
xwem-launch-program runs the client which is specified via the
minibuffer. If you press tab with half completed commands you are
prompted with a completion list. The completion list is displayed in
the xemacs window or a special display window. xwem-launch-program can
be started with a H-u prefix(xwem-universal-argument). There are two
cases when you start a progam this way:
case 1) numeric prefix argument (H-2 or H-u 2, etc) results in that
many clients being launched. Eg. H-u 2 H-x r xpdf results in two
instances of xpdf being launched.
case 2) non-numeric prefix argument (H-u, H-u H-u, etc) results in
the client being launched in window where it has been executed and you
are free to switch between windows to continue you work. This helps
when your clients are starting or diskless nodes and it takes 10 to 15
seconds which you want to spend more usefully.
xwem-launch-program-other-window is mapped to `H-o r' and `H-x 4 r'
xwem-launch-program-other-window executes the client specified via the
minibuffer and positions it in the other window, the other window will
be created if one does no exist. The window created is by splitting
horzotally if no argument is specified and on any other argument
specifed via the xwme-universal-argument (H-u) a vertical split.
xwem-launch-program-other-frame is mapped to `H-x 5 r'
This is an interactive command that executes the client specified via
the minbuffer and positions it in the next frame. If the H-u
(xwem-universal-argument) is specifed with any argument it creates an
embedded frame. The embeded frame can be treated as a normal client
and the normal client operations can be performed on this frame.

Many thanks to tintin for his effort!
