Oops, I forgot that if you haven't been using 10.5 you wouldn't be familiar with the Mac native Spaces! The rooted fvwm spaces are fine (as far as I tested them). It is the interaction between the two that isn't entirely happy. If you find some of my posts on xquartz you'll see more details. But I don't think most people will end up trying to use them together so it shouldn't be a show stopper. Things like not getting an outline when you reposition a window are irritating details, and the 'focus stealing' dropouts are pretty annoying but I reckon it is worth testing at least...
