I have a laptop with a 1366x768 screen (say Screen1), and a 1920x1080 monitor 
(say Screen2) connected to it (via HDMI or VGA).

Browsing around FVWM3's git repo, and looking at 
https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3/blob/main/dev-docs/NEW-COMMANDS.md#hierarchy-and-specification
 in particular, it seems like fvwm3 will allow me to have independent desktops 
with appropriate geometries on Screen1 and Screen2.

I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with FVWM2, so if some kind 
soul could please confirm that this is possible with FVWM3, I'll take the 
plunge and migrate.

Somewhat related questions:

1. The NEW-COMMANDS.md page states "Desktops are linear in their arrangement. 
There is no concept of pages within a desktop (as there is with FVWM2)." Is 
that information correct? Or is this something left over from early design 
discussions?

2. The picture on the NEW-COMMANDS.md page shows that the Desktops on Screen1 
have different geometries. Is that really possible? Or shouldn't I take that 
"literally"?

Many thanks for any suggestions,
Mandar.
