No I don't. fvwm is all I need :)

My ~/.xinitrc contains only the following :
xsetroot -solid black
xset r rate 400 80
# This pointer is ugly
xsetroot -cursor_name diamond_cross
xscreensaver &
exec fvwm &>fvwm.out 2>&1

xwininfo returns the following id's for my konsole windows :
xwininfo: Window id: 0x2400005 "Shell No. 2 - Konsole"
xwininfo: Window id: 0x1200005 "Shell No. 3 - Konsole"
xwininfo: Window id: 0x1400005 "root_at_c9906:/home/stu/meerrs - Shell No.
6 - Konsole"
AFAICS they all have unique window id's (or am I looking in the wrong
place maybe?)

Could I provide unique window names for konsole to fvwm by using
unique window titles for my konsole sessions?

Possibly. As I stated above, I don't use any kind of session manager
with fvwm, but loading konsole causes the following kde related
processes to run (output from 'ps afx'):
19720 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: Running...
19723 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: dcopserver --nosid --suicide
19726 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: klauncher
9572 ? S 0:01 kdeinit: knotify
Could any one of these be causing this problem?

As a beginning I started up window-maker, started 3 konsole sessions on
3 different desktops, numbered each one and restarted window-maker a few
times. Each session was on the correct desktop after the restarts.
I will try closing down all apps except konsole (when work is over) and
then checking if the problem persists. Do you have any advice as to how
I may further debug this problem, if this route is required?
