Are you sure this is not handled with the command line parameters for
each module? I think it already does this.

FvwmTile 0p 20p 1280p 1004p
FvwmCascade 0p 20p 1280p 1004p

I think these will do what you want. You read the man page? I'm
just curious since I thought it was stated fairly clear there, unless
this is something completely different.

btw, I just put 0.8a on there which omits Sticky windows unless they
are activated by a flag...

Regards,
Andrew
