No, I've only one monitor, or did you mean something else?

No, but the window is transient. More styles that may play a role:
Style * NoPPosition, NoTransientPPosition
Style * DecorateTransient
Style * !RaiseTransient, !LowerTransient, !StackTransientParent
Style * GrabFocusTransient

I don't think so, and I cannot think of any effect that would tell
the pager one page and then put the window on a different one. :-/
There might be some weird problems if a map request is generated
during paging - I sometimes get seamonkey windows on a wrong page
when paging is involved, not only with the new code but also with
fvwm.

Agreed.
When executing many instances of lyx at the same time with
$ lyx & lyx & lyx .... (100 times)
I notice several things.
1. Some of the warning messages end up somewhere off the page and
off the desk (the lyx windows that have warnings open refuse to
be closed).
2. With "all movetopage" I can bring the missing windows, but get
an error message from the parser:
[mvwm][__execute_command_line]: <<ERROR>> No such command 'š4ì'
I.e. there's still a bug in the new parser code.
3. The icon manager cannot deal with many windows on a single
page. When you switch from a page with many windows to a page
with only a few, it redraws its window after each window is
unmapped. That takes several seconds.
