I agree. If you want to start on something there is something that CDE has that
I miss in FVWM. It's the ability to set a desk occupation list on a window.
With FVWM a window can be in one desk or all(sticky). I'd like to be able to
have a window belong to desks 1,2 and not 3,4 and have sticky mean stick to the
glass in the desks that the window belongs to. Obviously this would mean making
the window state flags dynamically sizeable or fixing the maximum number of
desks so it might be tough. I'll volunteer to test it.

Cheers,
Tim
