   I think this *may* be a good idea for some.. but not so great for
   others. I'd hate to think that I would HAVE to make sure where I
   place my pointer so to not have FvwmPager change desks on me!!!

   If such a "feature" is ever implemented could the implementer please
   make sure and have an option to *disable* this "feature" from the
   .fvwm2rc file (or even at run time).

   Anyone else with any comments on this?

   Just my 2 cents ...
