These are window manager issues, not X. You need to edit the dot file
for your window manager. I'm running RedHat 4.2 with a customized
fvwm (not fvwm95) so your mileage may vary. First, check to see if
you have a .fvwmrc file or something like that. If not, copy the
system wide one - probably in /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwrc to your home
account and then modify it.

To prevent virtual desktops, find a line that looks like:
DeskTopSize ...
and change it to:
DeskTopSize 1x1

Probably - you need to define the function that is called when you
press the mouse on the edges of the window. Try: man fvwm and see
what you can find. The lines below are untested, but something along
these lines is what you want. Note: the order of these lines in your
.fvwmrc file is important in version 1.x of fvwm which is what is
shipped with 4.2 - maybe 5.0 comes with version 2.x of fvwm which I
think removes this restriction. I suggest you read through the
man page of fvwm and spend some time reading the default .fvwmrc file
to see some examples.
