You can't specify stickiness per page or per desk, it is a global setting.
Either a window is sticky (visible on all pages) or not (only on one page).
But you may try to change stickiness dynamically if you are not afraid of
writting some functions, which would do what you need. This may be done
using Stick command which triggers stickiness, but I don't suggest this,
you will not like the result. However you may try to iconify on and off
your sticky windows when switching to some desk (or even some page).
Here are some ideas if you really need this "strange" (your word) feature.
AddToFunc GotoDesk1
+ I Next (FvwmPager CirculateHit) Iconify 1
+ I Next (xcpustate CirculateHit) Iconify 1
+ I Next (xconsole CirculateHit) Iconify 1
+ I Desk 0 1
AddToFunc GotoDesk0
+ I Next (FvwmPager CirculateHit) Iconify -1
+ I Next (xcpustate CirculateHit) Iconify -1
+ I Next (xconsole CirculateHit) Iconify 1 # if you prefer it iconified
+ I Desk 0 0
Key 1 A CM GotoDesk0 # Ctrl-Alt-1 to switch to "Desk"
Key 2 A CM GotoDesk1 # Ctrl-Alt-2 to switch to "Apps"
If you use 2.3.x version the syntax I used should work since it is still
mostly backward compatible, but I would suggest a more "correct" syntax:
Old (2.2.x) | New (2.3.x)
--------------------------+----------------------------------
Desk 0 1 | GotoDesk 0 1
Iconify 1 | Iconify true
Iconify -1 | Iconify false
Next (xxx CirculateHit) | All (xxx) # if you have more than one xxx
In 2.3.x you may also use: All (Sticky) Iconify toggle.

I am not sure I understand the question, but if you ask whether
decorations have any effect on stickiness, the answer is no.
