Ian, I have no personal experience with multiheaded displays, so I'm not really
qualified to answer the question. This is from "man fvwm2":
Fvwm supports the Xinerama extension of newer X servers which is similar to
multi head sup port (multiple screens) but allows to move windows between
screens. If Xinerama support has been compiled into fvwm, it is used whenever
fvwm runs on an X server that supports and uses multiple screens via Xinerama.
Without this option, the whole desktop is treated as one big screen. For
example, menus might pop up right between two screens. The EdgeResis tance
command allows to specify an explicit resistance value for moving windows over
the screen edge between two Xinerama screens. Xinerama support can be enabled
or disabled on the fly or from the configuration file with the Xinerama
command. Many modules and com mands work nicely with Xinerama displays.
I cross posted this letter to the fvwm list - maybe someone who is using it will
respond to you personally.
Glen
