It seems to me that you just haven't had a good look at the documents. I'm certain that all of what you want LS to do, can easily be accomplished, but there might be a changed or added setting here and there. If you can't figure it out by yourself, you should post which modules you are using (sysvwm, ckvwm, rabidvwm... you name it), so it will be easier to help you.

try doing it yourself first, though, fixing stuff is always more fun when one do it without the help of others ;)
