FVWM already supports a distinction between logical and physical screens. For example, I have EdgeMoveResistance set to allow easy window alignment with the edge of my physical monitors, even though that may be in the middle of my single logical screen. I'm not sure what you want to do with paging, though. If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to be able to have a separate pager for each physical screen? But if so, I suspect you haven't thought it through. What do you do when a window straddles two physical screens and you change page on one of them, for example?
