Well, perhaps it was just luck that I didn't see the problem here
and that you didn't see it with 2.4.x. The code for the DeskOnly
option is totally broken in FvwmTaskBar and as far as I can see,
it has been broken for a long time. First, it completely ignores
the StickyIcon style. Second, it sometimes thinks a window is
moved onto the current desk when its actually removed from it.

The same bug was introduced into 2.5.0 and 2.4.6. At the moment,
there is no way to get the position and the condition work at the
same time. Will be fixed in 2.4.7.
