FVWM: GNOME2/fvwm integration

I'm installing Debian unstable and the latest GNOME2 desktop on a
friend's system, and I'm trying to convince him to see the light and
switch from sawfish to fvwm2. However I'm running into a few bugs with
the GNOME2 integration. I'm using a freshly built fvwm 2.5.7.

I switch to fvwm by killing sawfish and running fvwm2, then saving my
session. The first time after I log out and log back in with fvwm, the
GNOME menu panel, which is always at the top of the screen, has been
relocated to the bottom of the screen. The bottom edge panel has been
relocated to the top of the screen. The menu panel cannot be moved. If
I move the bottom edge panel down to the bottom of the screen where it
belongs, it gets hidden behind the menu panel, and is lost forever.

If I switch back to sawfish, the next time I log in the panels are in
the right place.

A second bug is that when using fvwm, and the workspace applet in the
GNOME panel, I always have 4 workspaces. I would like to only have one
workspace. But if I change the number of workspaces in the applet, it
always gets reset to 4 when I log in again.

Are these known bugs?

Thanks,
--Tessa
