Currently, fvwm uses the icon boxes in the order of creation. So, if one icon box is created on screen 0 and one is created on screen 1, all icons are placed on screen 0 until the icon box is full, then all icons are put on screen 1. My question was if it is necessary to skip icon boxes that are not on the same screen as the window. > > - Is it worthwhile to prevent icons from being placed between > > screens if the icon box spans the whole desktop?
