There is a new bindings context "D" which may help a bit with Nautilus
desktop.

I cannot reproduce this problem if I use the following procedure
for starting fvwm with GNOME 2:
Start "gnome-session" in my .xinitrc
(+ before: export FVWM_USERDIR=/home/olivier/.fvwm-fd
fvwm-themes-start --session gnome --no-start
but this is for my fvwm config).
Then, I've metacity as window manager. I open a terminal and run
fvwm -r [-f themes-rc] &
Then, fvwm replace metacity smoothly. When leaving the session
I save it. After that, when I start gnome-session fvwm is used
in the place of metacity (no need to save the session again for
further gnome-session start).
I get various problems if I use others procedures ...
I have GNOME version "2.0-Mandrake 9.0".
