(That was posted on April 3. A similar question -- "xinerama, but disjoint virtual desktops" -- was posted on April 13.) I was in the same dilemma running Openbox: I wanted my screens tied together with Xinerama; but I also wanted them to page independently. So I scripted a simple pager to do the trick. It works well for me. It should work (maybe with some tweaking) on any WM that is EWMH-compliant. I have not tested it with fvwm.
