If you like configuring by example, then reading through /usr/share/fvwm/default-config/config while running fvwm is invaluable. These older links might be helpful: https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/run/ch11_02.htm https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch17_01.htm The latter includes: 17.11. Starting Windows on Different Desktops and Pages https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch17_11.htm but beware of cutting and pasting directly from texts like these in case they're from a previous version (though fvwm moves pretty slowly). In particular, just check they're not from fvwm1 which, remarkably, is still packaged in stretch. People used to post their fvwmrc/fvwm2rc files in days of yore; googleable, good for new ideas.
