As far as I understand Xinarama and multi-head, the setup you
describe is not possible. Either you are running Xinareama and
*one* fvwm, or you have a multi-head setup and one fvwm for each
screen. With Xinerama you can move windows to all video screens,
with multi-head you can't.
Can you please post:
- the relevant parts of you X config
- the lines you use to start fvwm
- all Xinerama and Desktop settings from your .fvwm2rc
I need this information tu understand what you are doing.
