Something like:

Should work fine for you (and not use SmartPlacement). Works for me.

This is the difference between desktops and pages - the desktops are
disjoint so you cannot get to them via edge scrolling.
The next version of the FAQ contains the following description, to
clarify what is meant by a Desktop, a Page, and a Screen:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
27) What exactly is the differenct between a DESK, a PAGE, and the
SCREEN?
A: Our naming convention is sometimes a source of confusion, and when
discussing problems and the like it's good to maintain a consistent
meaning. To illustrate how features of fvwm should be referred to
- fvwm has multiple disjoint DESKTOPS, each of which is comprised
of M by N PAGES, which are each the size of the physical SCREEN.
The physical SCREEN acts as a viewport over one of the PAGES of the
current DESK. Here's a picture to clarify (also, take a look at
the FvwmPager module):
Desk 0 Desk 1
+----------+----------+ +----------+----------+
| | | | | |
| Page 0 0 | Page 1 0 | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
+----------+----------+ +----------+----------+
|+--------+| | | | |
||Page 0 1|| Page 1 1 | | | |
|| || | | | |
|+--------+| | | | |
+----------+----------+ +----------+----------+
It shows two 2 x 2 DESKTOPS. If the current DESK were number 0,
and the current PAGE were 0 1, the SCREEN would show only the
windows located there, plus any sticky ones.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want one big desk, change your DeskTopSize:
DeskTopSize 6 3
