Windows are unmapped in fvwm when they are on a different desk, but simply moved out of view when on a different page. In any case, there is nothing fvwm can do to force the X server to cache hidden portions of windows, and it's not the job of the window manager to do it. However, sone of these funny 3d or rendering extensions to X need to do this. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
