In your .fvwm/config file you should have an entry similar
to this:

DesktopSize 2x2
EdgeScroll 100 100
EdgeResistance 100
EdgeThickness 1
Style * EdgeMoveDelay 100, EdgeMoveResistance 100

This defines 2x2=4 virtual desktops that can be navigated
entirely with the pointing device (mouse).

I don't remember exactly, but I believe that the config
file format changed after 1.1.1.
