cool! Will there be a 2.2.3 out anytime soon, or should I roll back to
2.2.1 in the mean time (or even 2.2... I REALLY use that feature :)

Other window managers of course ;) I first found the joy of fvwm with
1.23b(?) and have been using it ever since. I've been thrilled to see that
chuck handed off development to a team of people that could handle it and
carry fvwm2 towards a healthy future! I have yet to find another window
manager that works as well as fvwm2, is as fast as fvwm2, and is as damned
flexible as fvwm2. Maybe I should just update my config and make it
prettier. I can't wait till fvwm2 is gnome compliant (having a desktop is
a wonderfully nice thing).
