Just to underline we are many ... :-)

In my TODO list for fvwm (which I was never able to revisit due to
lack of time, of course :-) one will find:

1) TWO button arrays
TaskBar may have TWO button areas.
One for full buttons, other for mini-icons as in a tray

Indicating what goes in tray might be done with some Style command
or with a specific FvwmTaskBar property

2) efficiency
Ask people what's more efficient: taskbar, or a combination of
        fvwmbuttons and fvwmIconMan

3) desk module
a desk like module. With shortcut icons and maybe with trash and filemanager

4) folder buttons
Hack the fvwmButtons for including the ability to do folders
Maybe it will need some clearing before.

5) menus do styles
make menus understand style mini-icons

6) buttons
titlebar functionality add a minimize/restart/stop
functionality to fvwmbuttons, with animation (as in warf)


Interested? Thanks for your attention, see you all again not too late :-)
