If I'm reading this right what you want are multiple desktops, each
1x1 screen big. Right now you have one (or more desktops), each one more
than one screen.

Try setting "DeskTopSize 1x1" and starting your pager with
"module FvwmPager 0 3" (in InitFunction and RestartFunction). That will
give you four desktops that you cannot flip between without clicking on
the pager (or using some key sequence).
