I think fvwm should pick up the number of desktops from _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS (left behind by the previous wm) and falling short of that it could at least put windows on the the closest available desktop (i.e. if you find a toplevel with _NET_WM_DESKTOP=20 but fvwm is configured with a fixed set of 4 desktops, put the toplevel on desk 4...) Out of interest, does fvwm implement the following aspect of EWMH ? "The Window Manager should honor _NET_WM_DESKTOP whenever a withdrawn window requests to be mapped." If yes, how does it handle invalid desktop numbers there ?
