That's pretty damn snazzy, if I do say so myself. I liked that one
enough to figure out how to do it... :-)

In my .fvwm2rc, I put:
# Key name Context Modifiers Action
# --------- ------- --------- ------------
Key KP_Home A N GoToPage 0 0
Key KP_Up A N GoToPage 1 0
Key KP_Prior A N GoToPage 2 0
Key KP_Left A N GoToPage 0 1
Key KP_Begin A N GoToPage 1 1

etc. This works for me, on an SGI... you might need to change the key names
but other than that it should work.
