Just some information and observations:
Fvwm sends things to modules with the broadcast functions like
BroadcastPacket.
The frames are only raised at the edges adjacent to other pages.
If you used the panframe for FvwmTaskbar, it wouldn't work at
the edges of the virtual desk.
Some people like to turn off the pan frames.
