Okay, then maybe the man page is written incorrectly? I find this in the
man page for FvwmPager:
*FvwmPager: Label desk label
Assigns the text label to desk desk (or the current
desk if desk is "*") in the pager window. Useful
for assigning symbolic names to desktops, i.e.
My interpretation of the first sentence is that if I do
*FvwmPager: Label * my_label
that the current desk should be labeled "my_label".
I guess I'm misunderstanding this sentence... As for the labels for the
rest of the desks, I'm finding that by default they are labeled "Desk #"
where # is the desk number.
Thanks,
Tom
