I suppose this should be directed at Mr. Brownrigg. Maybe he's on the
list?

Then he hasn't been opening enough windows :-)

I use a 3x3 desktop and until very recently only used a single desk.
However, on a recent project, I found I was opening more and more
windows. I like to keep the number of windows per page as small as
possible to avoid overlap. Sure, I could have edited my .fvwm2rc with
a different Desktop scheme, but that would mess up the mapping I have
between the keypad and GotoPage, not to mention having to restart.
Instead, I just moved to the next desk and bang - nine more pages, no
reconfiguration necessary. I, for one, consider this to be a major
win.
