I was skeptical about the clarity of my first note. I knew I did not use
the fvwm lingo.
I have included a small gif file to better understand my setup.
This image shows my current desktop. On the FvwmButtons bar, I call the
FvwmPager module with a completely new Pager with the title "Work".
When I switch to "Work", the windows in "Desktop" follow into "Work".
I don't want windows in "Desktop" to follow into "Work".
Regarding my second question, I am not trying to drag the desktop. I want to
scroll to other viewports using RMB. It works fine in the "Desktop" pager but
not in "Work" Pager.
I hope it is a little bit more clear this time. :-)
