How often should she change the setup? If once per month or year,
adding/removing some lines is not hard. If she does this often, you may
add a layer over FvwmButtons that creates these configuration lines.
I may think about several solutions. Say, using fvwm functions only plus
some shell commands. Or maybe creating a new module in perl similarly to
FvwmTabs that similarly catches a window and swallows it, just tiling all
windows instead of showing one at time.
