I really don't know what you mean with "docking" applications.
FvwmButtons handles everything about swallowing itself, and the
application should not even know about it. I think GNOME and KDE
taskbars/panels define their own docking "protocol", but that is
not supported in any way by fvwm. "Docking" suggests that the
application asks the container to swallow it, but that can not be
done with FvwmButtons. You must reserve space for the application
in the FvwmButtons config.
Does that answer your questions?
