I suppose SkipMapping/ShowMapping feature is:

        Assume window 'X' is specified as 'ShowMapping', currently
        fvwm shows 'desktop 0' to display, and window 'X' is intended
        to come up to 'desktop 1' by using 'StartsOnDesk' or whatever.

        When I wakeup 'X', fvwm changes desktop to 'desktop 1'. Yes,
        this is the current behavior of fvwm.

        But if window 'X' is specified as 'SkipMapping', fvwm does not
        change desktop (i.e., still shows 'desktop 0'), but window 'X'
        appears to 'desktop 1' (of course it doesn't see to display).

Wow! it's an interesting feature. Anyone implements ? Specification is
clearly defined :-)
