    Yes, you're right.

    Yup, I figured that out :).
                                                                                                    
    My problem was that sometimes I get used to being in windoze and
type Ctrl-<left|right> to move forwards/backwards by one word. But on
fvwm, Ctrl-left|right takes me to the next page on desk (as you put
it). That conks off my wine window! So I decided that when I use wine,
I'll turn on the num-lock. That way an accidental Ctrl-<left|right>
won't give rise to any problems.
                                                                                                    
    It was a silly partial "solution", but good enough for many cases.

    That would be cool :). Do let me know the outcome. It did strike
me at one time to try something out with FvwmEvent but since I didn't
(and still don't) know much about FvwmEvent (haven't needed to use
it), I just left it!

    Yes, yes.
                                                                                                    
    Thanks for your inputs :).
