Meh. The extra few microseconds to parse the options is unnoticeable.
Nothing really bad happens from doing it this way.

I do it this way because I don't have a "normally-correct setting".
It depends on my mood and what else I happen to be doing.
marvin% grep mythfrontend .fvwm2rc
+ "tiny" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 320x240 &
+ "tiny-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 320x180 &
+ "small" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 640x480 &
+ "small-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 640x360 &
+ "normal" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 800x600 &
+ "normal-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 800x450 &
+ "large" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 1024x768 &
+ "large-wide" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 1024x576 &
+ "720" Exec mythfrontend --geometry 1280x720 &
+ "full" Exec mythfrontend &
Ideally the frontend should be able to toggle between windowed and
fullscreen and tolerate being resized without being restarted. Until
then, --geometry is all there is.
