Normally when a window is created on a desktop or page other than the
current one, FVWM switches to that desktop/page. SkipMapping prevents
this: your viewport doesn't change when the new window is created. So,
you can continue working in some other app while the new one - Netscape,
for example - takes its sweet time starting up. And you can take your
sweet time about switching to the page with the new app - when you're
good and ready.
Now, in Brian's case, which started this discussion, he wants to start
up several xterms - I presume all at the same time, at startup. Without
using the SkipMapping style, FVWM would be ping-ponging back and forth
among different pages untill all these windows got mapped. It's really a
pretty ugly sight.
