Couldn't agree more. I use a combination of several 2x2 desktops (with
alt+arrow keys mapped to change pages), StartsOnDesk styles to place my
apps on the appropriate desks, and both StickyIcons and StubbornIcons
(yup, 1.24r) so that any app I've iconified follows me around. A quick
double-click takes me back to both the app and its desk. This is very
handy with, for example, Z-Mail, which changes the color of the icon
when new mail arrives. (Since I can selectively iconify, the icons
take up less space than leaving FvwmWinList on the page, and they're
much faster to use than waiting for a transient FvwmWinList to pop up.)
Still lobbying for StubbornIcons, even as a global rather than a Style,
in 2.0.* ...
