Several points.

Patches should be done using "diff -u" unless your diff only supports -c.
Patches should be done againt the latest version (one of the latest daily
snapshot is ok).
Patches should include changes to fvwm.1 and a ChangeLog entry.

Please save us the time. Otherwise whoever applies your patch should spend
time to understand a hard-to-read "diff -c" output, manually port the
patch from 2.4.x to 2.5.x, manually separate already applied CurrentAtEnd
patch from yours, write a man page entry. At this point it is easier to
implement the feature from stratch. :) Thank you and happy patching.

Regards,
Mikhael.
