	Actually, fvwm and all its variants support BOTH virtual desktops
and multiple desktops.  Few people use the multiple desktops.  (I
certainly don't.)  But they are there, and are well integrated.  I've
never tried to see how it works with the sticky bit nor dragging
applications to a new desktop.  

	Anyway, it's not as uncommon as you'd think.
