Yes but the behavior is the same. Fvwm provides both virtural desktops
which are larger than the current view port and virtual disjoint
desktops that act as individual screens.

Hmmm, learn something new every day. However, netscape is not behaving
correctly then. I have my left alt key set to ALT_L and my left windows
key set to META_L and netscape is using both of them as ALT. This is a
bug if you ask me, META and ALT are two different modifiers and netscape
should honor that. I will file a bug report if it is not already done.
[checks netscape/communicator bugs]
Nope, none have been filed. One is on its way now for
communicator-smotif-47.
