Many thanks to Erdmut Pfeifer for a very
informative response! I'll try that suggestion
ASAP.
One possible show-stopper: I tried dragging the
Messenger window to another desktop, by using
the 2nd mouse button within the pager window.
It worked, but all pop-ups triggered by my
use of the Messenger window popped up in the
original Navigator window. (I'm using no
virtual pages (1x1), just a pure multiple
desktop setup. Earlier, I used a 3x3 setup,
and when I moved the Messenger window into
an adjacent page by just "pushing through
the edge", the popup problem didn't occur.)

Here's Erdmut's posting, for context:
______________________________________________
just an idea: there's a not too well advertised "-remote" option
to Netscape that can be used to issue commands to be executed in an
*already running* instance of Netscape. So, I assume something like
netscape -remote 'openInbox()'
should have the desired effect, presuming you know how to have fvwm2
open the resulting new window on a different desktop (which you seem to
have figured out already :)
BTW, similarly, commands like
netscape -remote 'openURL(http://www.debian.org)'
considerably speed up startup times when trying to open HTML documents
from the commandline, as this avoids launching another instance of
Netscape.
For details see
http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html
and have a look at Netscape's X-resources file Netscape.ad for further
ideas on what you might want to control remotely -- just in case you
start liking that feature :)
Cheers
