Re: FVWM: Who/what is starting up ssh-agent? (Yes, this is related to fvwm)
What distro are you using? If you're starting fvwm from gdm or kdm you should try to find the xsession (I think?) file that is starting fvwm. You can often find this file by looking at what files you're fvwm package installs (on Debian this can be done with: "dpkg -L fvwm" for example).

Re: FVWM: Desktops versus Pages - how to use?

When I used a page system I was doing school work a lot. My typical layout is a Desk per task and page per program. First Desktop (Latex note editing): Emacs on one page Terminal on another Xpdf on a third Second Desktop (Website Editing) Firefox on one page Emacs on another Terminal on a third Third Desktop (Random personal) Firefox Gaim Another firefox etc, all usually on their own page This worked out well for me just to keep organized.

I generally have icons shown for the current desk only but not all desks. I use the window list to switch and check status of other windows (The pidgin window a desktop away for instance). I agree that's a limit benefit of the difference :) Chris Giroir
