In the 2.3.x betas, FvwmTaskBar accepts the "DeskOnly" option.
The taskbar will only show windows for the currently active desk.
That still won't tell you which page a window will go to, unless
you configure 1 page per desk.

I'm not sure what you mean by "running in fvwm95", but if you are using
fvwm95, you are asking questions on the wrong mailing list.

Fvwm2 can also be configured to look just like w95.
