Add this to your .fvwm2rc file:
*FvwmPagerStartIconic
This tells the pager to start "iconified" which indicates that you only
want to see the current desktop. (It's in the man page!)
For the second part of your question, you can add some buttons to
FvwmButtons as follows:
*FvwmButtons(Title "Desk 1". Icon mini-x.xpm, Action 'Desk 0 1')
*FvwmButtons(Title "Desk 2". Icon mini-x.xpm, Action 'Desk 0 2')
*FvwmButtons(Title "Desk 3". Icon mini-x.xpm, Action 'Desk 0 3')
(This tells FvwmButtons to create three buttons that switch to the
specified desktop -- you can use whatever Title or Icon you want.)
Interestingly, if you do this, FvwmButtons should make the button
representing the current desktop "pressed in" and the other ones
"pressed out" -- and it will change each time you switch desktops (using
FvwmButtons or not).
NOTE: This last paragraph is based on memory; I believe the FvwmButtons
STILL exhibits this behavior, but I haven't used buttons to switch
desktops in quite a while.
\Does this suit your needs?
