The Window Manager .rc (.fvwmrc, .twmrc, etc) file will have a section
on virtual desktop. FVWM has a section that can specify how many
screenfuls ie., 2x2, 4x2, etc. can be made up by the virtual desktop. I
think that you can comment it out or use 1x1 to specify only one screen
for the desktop. Check out the docs for your window manager if it's not
FVWM.
