FVWM: More than 4 desktops in Gnome

Hi all; I'm using Gnome 2.8 on Debian Sarge, with FVWM 2.5.12 (packaged
by Debian) as my window manager. I'm also using fvwm-themes 0.7.0 and
fvwm-icons 2001.08.13, also from Debian packages. This same thing
happened when I was using 2.6, and maybe before that.


My problem is that when I log in, I have 4 desktops configured and
visible in the workspace switcher applet, which is the default amount
for a Gnome system. I can choose the desktop with the gnome-panel, and
move windows, and all that stuff.

But I want more than 4 desktops. I can use the Properties on the
workspace switcher application to add more desktops, and they work
fine during that session.

So I log out (clicking the "save session" box).

But, when I log back in, I only have 4 desktops again and I have to
recreate them with the workspace switcher properties!!


This is pretty annoying. Anyone have any ideas what the problem here
is? Is it FVWM, forcing 4 desktops? Can I configure FVWM to have more
than 4? I found the configuration of pages per desktop, but I can't see
anything that forces a specific number of desktops.
