Hello,
Well...I switched to sawfish as window manager but I do not
see "Customize" in the context menu of the desktop.
Odd!
I see: New, Arrange Icons, Tidy Icons, Create new window,
Rescan Desktop directory, Rescan devices, Recreate default icons,
Configure background image, desktop properties.
I look at the last listed but it did not have the "number
of virtual desktops" settings that started my search.
Thank you for trying!
Christopher

Another way to access Sawfish config is to right-click on your desktop,
click 'Customize', and 'All Settings'. That will start Sawfish's own
little configger with all the options to setup the WM.
