FVWM: multiple screens + window dragging oddity

Hello all,

I just installed FVWM 2.4.8 (compiled from source) on a Solaris 8 box with 2
screens attached to it. Even though the Xserver supports xinerama, I am
trying to configure fvwm to run nicely on similar 2 screen boxes with
solaris 2.6 (no xinerama support). As expected, fvwm2 loads up separate
instances on both screens and I can move the mouse pointer between them.
Now, if I try to drag an xterm window from the (physical) screen on my left
to the (physical) screen on my right, the window outline pops back in to the
same left physical screen, from the left border. It's as if the window
"wraps around". At the same time, however, the mouse pointer changes to the
physical screen on my right and continues going that way. I hence move the
window outline on the left screen while the pointer is on the right screen.
Is there any way I can force the window AND pointer to just stop at the
right hand edge of the left screen when dragging while still having the
pointer go from desktop to desktop when it is moved on its own?
I have a binary of fvwm 2.2.4 which does just that, even when executed with
the same .fvwm2rc file.
Are there any compile time options I could enable?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

-Philipp
