Sorry if this message doesn't thread, I use gmane for reading this
newsgroup.

One solution that I used for seeing FvwmPager when I want to is
windowshading. Previously I had it so that the Pager would shade when it
lost focus, but it would do that when I didn't want it to sometimes. So,
  I now use "manual" shading for my FvwmButtons (which swallows
FvwmPager). Like so:
========================
Style FvwmButtons NoButton 1, NoButton 3, NoButton 2
Style FvwmButtons NoButton 4, NoButton 6, NoButton 8
Style FvwmButtons Sticky, StaysOnTop, Title, !Borders

# for the title bar buttons:
Mouse 0 1 A Menu MenuFvwmWindowOps2 Close
Mouse 0 4 A Maximize 95 100
Mouse 2 4 A Maximize 0 100
Mouse 3 4 A Maximize grow 0
Mouse 0 2 A Close
Mouse 0 3 A Stick
Mouse 0 6 A Iconify
Mouse 0 8 A Layer 0 6 Toggle
Mouse 0 5 A WindowShade
=========================

So, hence now it stays on the right side of my screen and I shade it
whenever I want to and it stays out of the way of my work and when I
want it to be there no matter what, I unshade it. Just an alternative
solution to the translucency (which I don't think is in X yet...).

e.g.
+-----+-----+-----+

| Desk0 |Pgr|

+-----+-----+-----+
