  IMO it would be nice if this were configurable: I like the windows to
be ordered in the order they were last visited, e.g. the current window
is on top, the window focused before is second etc...

  that way the most used windows are on the top of the list (I usually
actively use only few windows), the most used windows are easiest to
access.

  this is how ms win alt-tab works and it's one of the few things I like
in ms win and would like to be able to configure fvwm to work exactly
the same way...

  it would be nice to have an option of static list or dynamic list
('recentness' list). Including being able to filter list but I think
that works already (in 2.4, I haven't got around to play with 2.4 config
yet).
