  Hi

No, he refers to the FvwmButtons (TaskBar isn't functioning under
fvwm, I think).

However, a general receipt for what Gottlieb explained for FvwmTaskBar
is:

identify the window which always gets put on top. For this you can use
FvwmIdent or xwininfo. Take the name of the window from this
information and go in your .fvwmrc or .fvwm2rc and find the line(s)
containing something like

Style "<your_window_name>" <other_opts>, StaysOnTop, <other_opts>

and take out the StaysOnTop command.
