I think what Zack wants to be able to do is to set the units
of the grid to an arbitrary value. Say he has a 1280 x 1024 screen,
and has hotkeys that will jump half of the desktop dimension in
either direction - 640 sideways or 512 up or down. I think he'd like
the pager to display a grid of squares *representing* 640 x 512 chunks
of desktop real estate instead of pages.
Despite the puzzlement, Dominik's reply is correct. FVWM
manages the virtual desktop in multiples of the actual screen size,
and that's what the Pager displays. That's why it's called the, um,
Pager. It's not configurable to use arbitrary grid units.
