FVWM: page navigation

hello...

i'm new to fvwm, but i really like it :D

i've set up a 3x3 desktop and would like to be able to scroll through
the pages using the arrow keys with the windows key as modifier .

i'll number them like this (for easier reference):

+-----+-----+-----+
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
+-----+-----+-----+
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
+-----+-----+-----+
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
+-----+-----+-----+

the keys are configured like this:

Key Left A 4 GotoPage -1p 0p
Key Right A 4 GotoPage 1p 0p
Key Up A 4 GotoPage 0p -1p
Key Down A 4 GotoPage 0p 1p

this way i get following sequences:
1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9 for Left/Right, and
1-4-7, 2-5-8, 3-6-9 for Up/Down..
That's very nice :) but i'd like to have it a little different.
if i'm in screen 3 and go right, i'd like to be sent to 4.. if i'm in 6,
send me to 7.. the same for the up/down movement. from page 7 to 2, from
page 8 to 3. the next step would be to send me from page 9 to 1 if i go
right/down.. does anybody have info about how i could realize this?

Additionally it would be nice to have the focussed window from the
previous page lose the focus and one of the windows (probably the next
one to the mouse) in the new page be focussed (if there is none, no
window gets focus, but the old one should lose it anyway). this should
be always when i change the page.. using the obove keys, the FvwmPager
or some other function.
is there a simple way to make fvwm do this?

Next question is about the Translucency patch..
Is Translucency only for menus? i tried FvwmPager, but it doesn't seem
to be possible... FvwmPager has StaysOnTop, so it'd be nice to see
what's in the window under it.. but i think, for that i'll need real
translucency provided by the X server. am i right?

sorry for these many questions and maybe i missed something from the
manpage so please give some hints where i could've found information on
the topics.
