Nither the 2.0.46 version or the current CVS snapshot has SaveUnders.

Because I checked the source. SaveUnders is not allowed as an option in
the .fvwmrc files any more, nor is it set in add_window.c.

The only place in the current CVS version of FVWM where CWSaveUnder is
used is in builtins.c (turned off) and menus.c (turned on for fvwm menus).
If SaveUnder is good enough to use for FVWM menus, why can't I use it in
my applications?! Why was the SaveUnder code removed from add_window.c?
Since the WM reparents my windows *without* SaveUnders, nothing I can do
will work around this. Argh.
Thanks,
Jon
