Thanks to everybody who replied.
In fact I had StickyIcon in an unedited part of the .fvwm2rc inherited 
from the SuSE default configuration.

Apparently commenting that out, or using Style * SlipperyIcon (is there 
any difference ?) reverts back to the sensible default behaviour. 

BTW, my (SuSE 9.2 bundled, rather old) fvwm man page calls the option 
sometimes SlipperIcon, sometimes SlipperyIcon. Is it a typo ? Corrected in 
later versions ?

This was corrected by me, as have a number of improvements to the SuSE
.fvwm2rc file, as shipped with 10.2, or something -- yet to be released.

SlipperyIcon is the deprecated negation of StickyIcon. You should use
!StickyIcon instead, it's the same thing. I've just dug it up from my
config file, sorry for the outdated info :)

  while for moving windows the most frequent way for me is to stick it
  to all pages and desks, change page, then eventually unstick it.
  Second choice is drag in the pager.

 Yet another way, similar to (un)sticking a window, is to iconify the
 window on the current page; switch to your destination page;
 uniconify previously iconified window.

 That's true. I forgot.

 The fact is that, since when I use fvwm (or any other multi-desktop Wm) I
 tend to iconize windows much less than I did on older single-page WMs (to
 make room).

 Actually I find a bit disturbing the feature that an iconized window
 belongs to all pages and desktops. My natural expectation would be that an
 iconized window remain quiescent just on the original page. Is there
 some fvmw trick to obtain that ?

Sure, just _don't_ use the style option StickyIcon ;-)
