Be careful with the term "desktop". It is used in several differing
meanings. From "screenful of stuff" to "highly integrated and complete GUI".

It seems you are looking for non-sticky icons.
I'm not sure whether i could talk fvwm2 into doing that.

Maybe you should look for some GUI construction set by which you can build
simple GUI programs which offer buttons to start the desired programs
like icons would do.
Each screen would get its own such program. Non-sticky, of course.


Have a nice day :)
