The title may be misleading, but it's my first idea to accomplish what I
want to.

I have two main machines I work on. The second I don't use for all that
many X applications, I just SSH over to it in a term to do what I need.

What I'm thinking would be handy is to have two desktops in FVWM. One to
behave like normal, but the other would execute most of its applications
on the second machine, or in the case of a term, automatically ssh into
the second machine.

For instance, I bound caps+a to open an aterm. I want to have that work
like normal on the first desktop, but when I do it on the second
desktop, I want that to open an aterm and automatically ssh to the
second machine.

What I'm thinking is another set of key bindings that take effect on the
second desktop. The key mapping would be the same, but the executed
command would differ by desktop. Those key bindings would execute the
ssh command at the start of the aterm (or whatever else I use) so it'll
automatically work as if the second desktop belongs to the second
machine (in a way).

Is there a way of doing this? If not, does anyone have another idea of
how I could more seemlessly integrate the two machines?

Thanks,
- Jay
