    Actually, you and I seem to be talking about the same thing =). Not
dynamically loaded, but able to be compiled in when building fvwm... Maybe
distributed as 'contrib' code.

   =/ Hmm. I'm still willing to look into it/work on it...

NOTE: for rest of email, module=compiled-in optional code, NOT traditional
FVWM Modules

  Hows this for a possible configuration:

        Compile in contrib window-decor module.
        If module specific style used on TitleStyle, etc,
        call the module-decor code for window, otherwise do the 'normal'
        fvwm decor.

In otherwords, make these modules as extensions... as you can have both
'normal' and 'extended' modules compiled at once.

  Is there enough demand/support for making such modifications to the
code? If this is pursued, how likely is it that it will be rolled back
into the fvwm distribution? Are there people aside from me who would be
interested in working on this?
