Key Tab A M WindowList (CurrentPage) Root c c NoGeometry, \
                  CurrentAtEnd, IconifiedAtEnd

look up in 'man' what they do.
I *think* this config will work for 2.5.x, but not sure
whether it will work for 2.4.x as is. I think,
'CurrentAtEnd' and 'IconifiedAtEnd' may be the 2.5.x option

However, I think The CurrentPage option, and 'Root c c'
(position in the center of the root window) position will
work.

In any case, grep man for above, and you shall find lots of
information.

depends on how you want to do it: i think it is easier to
use defaults (i.e. all windows show up) and then add styles
for windows that you dont want to show up. Here is an
example

   Style FvwmPager WindowListSkip

I am not sure how to specify a style option "show up on the
list", but I am sure someone here does :-) (if it is
possible)
