Since several people have already answered this, I won't bother.

The latest 2.xx beta is 2.0.40, BTW.

What do you mean MWM commands to change the titlebar? If the program
uses standard methods for changing the window name, the titlebar
should be updated correctly.

Unfortunately I don't have a copy of Cadence, so I can't test this.
But as I said above, it should work. Use FvwmIdent to see if the
window name is changing correctly even if the titlebar isn't.
