Nope, not that way. I have 16 Virtual Screens. Now the thing I want to do is
to move a Window (like an xterm or so) from on Virtual screen to the other
virtual screen via my mouse. But When I try to move my mouse over to the
right or so, the mouse stops. There is a way ... i know it because i used it
some time ago, but I don't know how. It does not work with EdgeScroll 100
100 with EdgeResistanze 10000 1 and so on. I do _not_ know why.

I did because I thought that this file did what i didnt want. But it does
actually what I want ... so I will restore the file.

Thank you for your fast answer and your help rearding fvwm ;)
