Yes and no. It seems to me that it is difficult to implement something like PageOnly with the fvwm to module communication that we have now. One problem is that a page can be any where on the desktop so redrawing should be done window by window (technically, at each CONFIGURE_WINDOW packet). The result is a semi-random order (maybe fixable) and a lot of redrawing. I suggest to do not use the PageOnly option. What about DeskOnly and a relayout of your Pages/Desks ... Maybe we should warn the users in the man page. Dominik any comments? I think it is you that has introduced PageOnly? > Oh, btw: In the current version of fvwm FvwmTaskbar is very very slow. > When switching to another (empty) page it takes about 2 seconds until > all listed windows are hidden in the FvwmTaskbar.

I see a lot of redrawing in some case with PageOnly (for the reason I just explained) but when switching between page with a lot of windows (and this does not take 2 secs). But, maybe you have a very slow machine and/or X? Regards, Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
