FVWM: shape masking and it's future in fvwm

Hello devs, great work on fvwm.


        I was wondering what the future of shape masking in Fvwm will
        be. I've noticed a few things about it currently that don't sit
        well with me, and I wondered if anyone was still working on this
        portion of fvwm and of course, if they were willing to take some
        suggestions:

 1. Shape masking doesn't work in title bars as of yet, although you
        can use pixmaps to shape yourself some rounded (or otherwise
        different) corners, if you don't use pixmaps you are left with
        no choices.

 2. Shape masking ruins the effect borders have in Fvwm. Example: I
        make a shape mask for my menu and when I bring up the menu I
        have shaped corners, the problem is, the border around the menu
        window is cut off where the shaping happens. Will it ever be
        possible for the border to follow the contour of the shape mask?

Thanks in advance,
-Evan
