There are infinitive number of such desktops including negative numbers
that GotoDesk and MoveToDesk may work with. In practice, EWMH uses only
non-negative numbers, so you may want to follow this too.

To start FvwmPager with 4 desktops (all having DeskTopSize pages) do:

  DeskTopSize 3x2
  FvwmPager 0 3

This means FvwmPager shows desktops 0, 1, 2, 3. Totally 4x3x2 = 24 pages.

Also with 4 visible desktops try these bindings (Ctrl-Alt-8/9):

  Key 8 A CM GotoDesk -1 0 3
  Key 9 A CM GotoDesk +1 0 3

Regards,
Mikhael.
