Q: Why I cannot enter numbers from the numeric keyboard? After a while in Crystal
windows don't move, I cannot switch desktops, nothing works how it should
be...
A: FVWM-Crystal uses numeric keyboard for window controlling - moving, focus
switching, etc. That's why whithout NumLock turned on it's not possible to
enter digits. When you turn on NumLock, FVWM (window manager) get's "weird",
because it uses NumLock as another modifier, such as Shift or Alt. More about
it can be found on the project's FAQ page. You can turn off this function, but
then you cannot control windows from numeric keyboard. The best way is to not
use NumLock at all - if you want to enter digits, hold Shift - then numpad
works normal, letting you enter numbers and math symbols.

Q: Sometimes when i switch to a desktop 5 (example), FVWM switches to desktop
4 or 6. What's happening?
A: In Crystal i have a mechanism to remember which window was focused when you
change desktops. When a last focused window is also on another desktop (even
few pixels), FVWM will switch to the desktop where more part of this window is
visible. Example, when you have a big window on desktop 3 and it's edge can be
seen on desktop 4, when you switch to desk 4 FVWM sees that this big window
was last focused and switches you to desk 3, where more contents of this
window is visible.
