I apologise. I read line three of the OP which said 'Using FVWM'.

I then asked for clarification, which may have mystified people who
don't use a WM as flexible and configurable as fvwm. That flexibility
requires terms to describe it. Imagine you'd never seen xinerama and
had just come across it. You would need a term to distinguish it from
the multiple disjoint desktops that I mentioned at the start of my
second post (for which I my workaround would not work).

They are effectively synonyms in this context. We (I) was trying to
discuss features that are superficially similar but have critical
differences in their behaviour.

Reviewing your posts, the first sympathetically commiserated with the OP,
the rest seemed to be arguing with those who knew something about fvwm
and were trying to comment on the problem and its possible amelioration.

Cheers,
David.
