Thanks for the help. This helps but it is still a semi working solution for me.
With SkipMapping turned on, it is now better because even if I am in a different
desktop, the new popup window will not cause fvwm to switch to the orginal
desktop. But I really want the new popup window to start on the current
desk/page I am in.
Eg:
Start Mozilla on Desk 1
Start another Mozilla window on Desk 1 using Ctrl-N
Now manually move this second mozilla window to Desk 2
In Desk 2, on the second mozilla window, press Ctrl-N to start the third mozilla window
The third mozilla window will be placed in Desk 1 but not my current desk 2.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Shao.
