Re: FVWM: Fvwm3 Virtual Desktop Problem

Not happening with my FVWM3 installation.  I'm using the default right
side panel config with specialized menu (xdg desktop plus edited
default applications and popup file management for
/home/<user>/Documents and all the subfolders of same.  The config has
a 2x2 virtual for four desktops. The only thing I noticed was that the
right panel had to be moved further right on my 1600 x 900 panel which
sits left of my 1280 x 1024 panel(it was acting like the left screen
was only 1280 wide).  I simply left clicked touched "Move" and then
moved the right panel to the right screen edge. Everything else seems
to work as expected. Basically the panel is now a movable object( yea)
