Obviously you didn't look too much into fvwm. By default you |
| 12 |
only have to move the mouse across the screen border to change |
| 13 |
to another "page" using the fvwm terminology. |

This is configurable of course, you have the DesktopSize option |
| 16 |
which configures the number of pages on each desktop, you can as |
| 17 |
well define many desktops, each of them with many pages. It's |
| 18 |
far more powerful than the average WM in that regard, certainly |
| 19 |
more powerful than xfwm, kwin or metacity (which is the dumbest |
| 20 |
wm ever in my humble opinion). |

Fvwm is not for the lazy, though. But it can do *almost* anything, |
| 23 |
my only complain about it is the xinerama support, I am just one |
| 24 |
of the xrandr haters out there. |

Menus also can be defined and accessed using keybindings. Or you |
| 27 |
could very well use just keybindings and don't use menus, which |
| 28 |
is what I do. |
