Sorry accidently replied to the person not the list


In the default configuration (fvwm style) the file modules contains a line
     
*DeskerPanelButtons: (Panel(right, steps 12, delay 0, position module top, indicator10)
+"FvwmDesker" 'Module FvwmPager FvwmDesker 0 3')
     
setting the 0 3 to 0 0 should fix your problem.

Alt-PgDn and Alt-PgUp will still cycle through 4 desktops - only the desktops
won't be labeled. Does that mean they exist or they do not?


I don't know whether they exist, I guess they do, but I guess an infinite number of desktops exits.
This behaviour is set in the file bindings

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Page Up/Page Down keys are used to scroll by one desktop page
# in any context, press page up/down + control + alt
# in root context, just pressing page up/down is OK
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key Next A CM Desk -1 0 0 3
Key Next R M Desk -1 0 0 3
Key Prior A CM Desk +1 0 0 3
Key Prior R M Desk +1 0 0 3


Again the 3 is the number of desktops-1 you use.
