Ah, sorry. I misunderstood your question (I'd forgotten about the other params to
be honest). I assumed you were just having a 'Doh!' day and had misread the man
page or something.
I've just tried
+ "I" Module FvwmAuto 150 Nop Iconify
and while it was very confusing (it uniconfied icons when I moved over them
for example) it worked fine.
Maybe its simply being very picky in syntax,
'raise'/'Raise'?
I'd test it more but its time I went home!
