Sticky window always has sticky geometry, try to change a viewport in the
pager using mouse button 3, how would this work with your suggestion?

But I see 2 possible solutions, all have their own problems.

1) Setup FvwmEvent that listens to new_page and moves your sticky window
to one or another location depending on $[page.nx] and $[page.ny].
(It is probably shorter to write a perl-based module that does this,
reask if you want to know how.)

2) Run several applications, one per page and optionally make them
StickyAcrossDesks (in 2.5.x). Then you should only initially place these
windows correctly on different pages with different geometries, probably
StartsOnPage may help here.

If you need additional help, provide additional info (your version,
with or without fvwm-themes).

Regards,
Mikhael.
