I only use fvwm2. There is no problem in moving or iconifying the
taskbar.

What I do is have a popup menu from the root window that has a
submenu called window ops. The window ops submenu has both move and
iconify actions. When I select one of them, say move, my mouse
pointer changes shape. I can then click on any window, for example
the taskbar, and move it. Same for inconify.

Simplier would be to have move and iconify on the main menu. First I
show the simplier way and then my way.

First bind a mouse butto to popup the menu when pushed in the root
window. I use mouse button 1.

Mouse 1 R A Menu Main-Menu Nop

Then make a main menu with move and iconify

AddToMenu Main-Menu
+ "Main Menu Title
+ "Move" Move
+ "(De)&Iconify" Iconify
