Please always specify which version do you run.
Please always provide enough of the configuration to be understandable,
one may only guess how exactly you defined the "." function.
Anyway, I think that you use 2.5.6 instead of a later snapshot, this is
why it does not synchronized for you. Works for me.
Another solution (not sure why you don't use it anyway) is to use
GotoDesk with the first zero parameter:
. %{ $[desk.n] > 0 ? "" : "#" }% GotoDesk 0 %{ $[desk.n] - 1 }%
Then you don't need any synchronization between fvwm and FvwmPerl and it
may work in 2.5.6 too.
