Bummer. Fvwm added a desktop context to deal with file managers.

Opps, I forgot to mention what version I was using.. Yes, I'm running 0.16.7.2. That will work, I haven't changed much yet. > > I use the gnome workspace switcher to manage my desktops.

I'm using Ubuntu, and I prefer to stick with what's in the repositories. How new is 16.8? Maybe Ubuntu will upgrade sometime soon. Thanks for your time.
