For everybody who has had troubles with VWMs, I recommend using ckVWM. I used to have all sorts of trouble especially if I used any more than 5 desktops; plus my adobe menus would go with me to whichever desktop was active. Switching from sysVWM to ckVWM has straightened everything out.

My question is with the VWMs, how the heck are you supposed to load certain programs on certain desktops!? It's listed in the docs that it can be done but, I'll be damned if I can get it to work...
